Road-ready for your first trip

We now make it even easier for you to find the right car. By dividing our cars by condiction into Certified Plus, Certified, Tested and Repair Objects, we help you choose a vehicle that matches your needs, your budget and your expectations.

All vehicles sold through Kvdcars have undergone our thorough and independent vehicle inspection, the KVD-test. Our condition categories clearly show the state of each car, from exceptionally well maintained vehicles to cars that may require repairs, based on the inspection results.

With Certified Plus, you get a car that is:

  • Ready to drive from day one

  • In better than normal condition, both inside and out

  • An extra safe and high quality choice

Which cars are included in Certified Plus?

These cars meet, among other things, the following criteria:

  • All requirements for Certified

  • Bodywork and interior assessed to be in better than normal condition

In other words, you can expect the car to meet the same standards as Certified, meaning it fulfils our specifically defined requirements for condition and function. On top of that, the bodywork and interior have been assessed to be in better than normal condition. Nice, right?

With Tested, you get a car that is:

  • A normal used car

  • In working condition, with some wear and tear

  • May be well maintained and in good condition, but does not qualify as Certified due to age or mileage

  • An option for those who accept that certain things may need attention

Which cars are included in Tested?

These cars meet, among other things, the following criteria:

  • Have undergone the KVD-test

  • May have remarks affecting function, comfort or appearance

  • May require maintenance, repairs or other actions

In other words, you can expect a car that corresponds to what is normally expected of a used vehicle in average condition. At the same time, it is important to carefully review the inspection report, as there may be remarks and items that require attention after purchase.

With Repair Objects, you get a car that is:

  • In need of repairs or extensive work

  • Sold as is

  • An option for those who are able and willing to fix the car themselves

Which cars are included as Repair Objects?

These cars are characterised by serious faults or defects that affect function, safety or driveability. This may include extensive technical issues, major damage or other deficiencies that require action.

It is important to carefully review the inspection report and all remarks in order to understand the condition of the car. Expectations regarding the car’s functionality should be low, even for parts that do not have specific remarks. Repair Objects are best suited for buyers who have the knowledge, ability and interest to carry out repairs after purchase.
