The scope of this VA inspection service includes inspection done upon arrival and receipt of the vehicle at ATJ’s yard sites. The vehicle is then checked as to the correctness of the vehicle information, its status and notes as to the damages and accessories of the vehicle are documented at this stage.

ATJ’s independent vehicle appraisals are designed to provide customers with both historical vehicle profiled data and physical inspection by a qualified technical expert to validate this information.

Structural damage/deterioration inspection is an inspection process which aims to inspect and identify reportable damages and deterioration of the vehicle. The process includes flagging those vehicles with damage, writing down a clear description of the damage and taking a photo of the damaged area. These flagged damaged vehicles will then be reported to the customer and/or government agencies of both the origin and destination countries.

The basis and scope of inspection is the set regulatory damage allowable for exportation to and importation by the destination country. Several countries usually require that structural inspection and/or certification activities are conducted to ensure that safety standards are met, and performing this service usually requires advanced equipment, tooling and staff with structural training capabilities.

ATJ performs structural inspections for New Zealand (viz. New Zealand Transport Agency [NZTA]) and is the first inspection company to have its systems of equivalence pass their stringent structural inspection requirements.

Odometer integrity inspection is an inspection process that ensures that the accurate mileage of the vehicle is properly displayed and it is designed to be able to recognize tampered odometers and prevent odometer fraud.

The scope of the process covers odometer visual checking including external cover inspection and actual meter casing inspection.

A tampered odometer is one less thing you need to worry about with ODOMETER INSPECTION SERVICES

Odometer inspection is an important protection against odometer fraud – the illegal process of tampering a vehicle’s odometer in order to display a lower mileage than its actual reading. Odometer fraud is increasingly becoming prevalent in markets like NZ, where the demand is high for quality used cars with low mileage.
