How an appraisal works
Pre-appraisal. Know what’s coming in
Add-on module. The vehicle owner gets an SMS with a checklist they complete before delivery. You know what’s arriving and can plan the purchase before the car is on the lot.
Oscar Inspector. Know what to look for
Before the inspection starts, Oscar Inspector analyses 20 million+ real inspections and shows the appraiser which defects are statistically likely on this specific vehicle. A 2018 Audi A4 with 90,000 km? Check the oil consumption and the rear brake calipers. The appraiser starts the inspection already knowing where to focus.
Appraisal. Thorough, fast and AI-guided
The appraiser works through the vehicle on a tablet or phone: Oscar Inspector predictions visible throughout (the appraiser verifies each one), vehicle data pulled automatically, photos, service history and measurements, equipment, and a checklist with predefined comments, photos per finding and pricing from a catalogue.
The appraiser works in their own language. Nothing changes in their workflow. Except they now know where to look.
Requisition, from findings to action
All defects go to the workshop as a digital requisition. Each item can be sent to a specific workshop or external supplier via link with photos. The condition report updates automatically when items are completed.
Condition report. AI insight in the buyer’s language
Appraisal minus requisition equals condition report. It shows the vehicle’s condition after repairs, with photos, damage drawings and plain language, plus what Oscar Inspector predicted and what was checked because of it. The report displays automatically in the reader’s language.

The condition report
How it is built
Appraisal minus requisition equals condition report. The appraisal uncovers defects, the requisition fixes them, and the condition report documents the end result. Everything is connected and updates automatically along the way.
Delivered as PDF and interactive page
The report is delivered as a PDF and as an interactive page via a link. Share it with sales support systems, attach it to the listing, or send it directly to the buyer. The cover photo and remarks can be adjusted before publishing.
Who uses the condition report?
Dealers use it as a sales tool. Private sellers receive it through a workshop and attach it to their listing. Buyers use it as reassurance. The condition report makes the deal safer for both buyer and seller.
Three paths to appraisal
| Scenario | How it works |
|---|---|
| Dealer (walk-in trade-in) | Salesperson creates an offer with a used vehicle as part-exchange. The appraisal is created in B.U.S.test. |
| Dealer (planned trade-in) | Vehicle is expected. Pre-appraisal already ordered. The appraiser picks up where it left off. |
| Auction house | The auction house commissions the appraisal. The buying dealer, wherever they are in Europe, reads the report in their language. |

Equipment
Be sure you check all the equipment the vehicle has. With connections to selected providers, B.U.S.test can register the correct equipment automatically.
Statistics
Pull statistics on different KPIs. Measure how efficient you are, the cost per appraisal, the average number of defects per appraisal and so on. More features are coming.
Pre-appraisal
Send a simple appraisal to the vehicle owner or driver before the vehicle arrives. Be prepared when it comes in. The pre-appraisal follows the vehicle regardless of who ends up carrying out the appraisal.
Sales support systems
B.U.S.test is connected to several sales support systems. Order the appraisal types you want directly from them → get the result in your own system → choose what to repair → get a condition report ready for publishing.
Four roles. One system
| Appraiser | Carries out the appraisal. Checklist, photos, pricing and completion, in their own language |
|---|---|
| Salesperson | Creates the appraisal order, often from the sales support system |
| Used car manager | Reviews the appraisal and decides whether to buy the vehicle in |
| Management | Defines checklists, test profiles and minimum requirements. Tracks statistics and KPIs |
For groups and chains
Test administration gives you control and insight across all locations. Define your own checklists and test profiles and distribute to selected locations. Build price catalogues at dealer, group or importer level.
