සිංහල Online B.U.S. Diagnostics (OBD)
B.U.S.’s own OBD hardware reads fault codes directly from the vehicle. Immediate insight into technical condition, without external equipment. The reading is added automatically to the appraisal report.
Platform · Test
15 minutes faster per appraisal. From appraisal to condition report – one system.
B.U.S.test handles the entire used vehicle process, from pre-appraisal and trade-in to finished condition report. On a tablet, in the workshop, in one app. Norwegian dealers who moved from desktop to the B.U.S. app save 15 minutes per appraisal. Dealers using the condition report see fewer warranty claims. That’s not a feature list. It’s a business case.

How an appraisal works
Pre-appraisal. Know what’s coming in
Add-on module. The vehicle owner gets an SMS with a link to a simple checklist they complete before delivery. You know what’s coming in and can plan the purchase before the car is on the lot. For lease returns and planned trade-ins, this is the difference between reacting and preparing.
Appraisal. Thorough and fast
The appraiser works through the vehicle on a tablet or phone: vehicle data pulled automatically, photos taken during inspection, service history and measurements, equipment, Oscar Inspector predictions, and a checklist with predefined comments, photos per finding, action selection and pricing from a catalogue.
The appraisal is complete when the administrator’s minimum requirements are met. It’s then sent to requisition. An appraisal report is generated. As PDF and interactive web page.
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 a link with photos. When completed, it’s marked off, and the condition report updates automatically.
Condition report, the finished result
Appraisal minus requisition equals condition report. It shows the vehicle’s condition after repairs, with photos, damage drawings and plain language. Ready to attach to listings, send to buyers, or show on a tablet in the showroom.

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 is already ordered. The appraiser picks up where the pre-appraisal left off. |
| Auction house | The auction house commissions the appraisal. The buying dealer gets access to the result. As long as they have B.U.S.test. |
More add-on modules for B.U.S.test
Works with Oscar Inspector
Combine B.U.S.test with Oscar Inspector for AI-powered insight into likely defects, based on make, model and mileage, before and during the appraisal.
Battery SoH
Connect B.U.S.test to your battery tester and get the battery health score straight into the appraisal report. If a battery check has been carried out, it is included automatically.
B.U.S.test Smart Assist
Save time with Smart Assist. Take photos of the service book, whether on paper or digital on the car’s screen, and the service history is filled in correctly in B.U.S.test. More exciting features are coming.
Service history
B.U.S.test connects to several providers that collect service history. Get the vehicle’s service history filled in directly in B.U.S.test without taking photos or filling it in manually. See the integrations below for providers.
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 |
|---|---|
| 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, for example importer programmes, and distribute to selected locations. Build price catalogues at dealer, group or importer level.
For more information see the administration page.
