Well-maintained Corolla with expected wear for mileage. Front brakes need attention soon and minor valve cover seepage should be monitored, but no major mechanical concerns. Fair asking price.

Key Findings
5

Clean exterior — no visible body damage

All panels show consistent paint depth and color match. No signs of previous collision repair or rust. Minor stone chips on hood are normal for 62K miles.

Front brake wear — pads near minimum thickness

Visible rotor scoring through wheel spokes indicates pads are 80-90% worn. Expect $200-350 brake service within 3-6 months.

CVT transmission fluid — check service history

2018 Corollas use CVT transmissions that require fluid changes every 60K miles. Confirm maintenance records. Skipped services can cause $3,000+ CVT replacement.

Why It Works

The step before the mechanic

Always bring a certified mechanic when buying a used car. CarScanAI filters out the bad ones so you can focus on getting a good one — and sellers can prove they have one.

Catches What You'd Miss

AI trained on vehicle damage, wear patterns, and paint defects. Spots repaints, panel gaps, and accident signs that listing photos try to hide.

Screen Used Cars in 60 Seconds

Upload the listing photos, get a full pre-check report instantly. No appointments, no phone tag with sellers. Decide if it's worth your time.

Real Data, Not Guesses

VIN decoding from NHTSA databases. Live recall checks. Market pricing for your region. Every fact is verified before it reaches your report.

Reports You Can Share

Forward to your mechanic, send to the seller to negotiate, or attach to your own listing. Professional PDFs that build credibility.

Cheaper Than One Wasted Trip

$4.99 to screen a listing. $14.99 for a full pre-check. Compare that to driving across town, taking time off work, and paying a mechanic $150 for a lemon.

Knows Your Car's Weak Spots

2015-2017 CR-V CVT transmissions fail at 60K miles. AI knows this — and thousands of other make-model-year problems — so you don't learn the hard way.

Perfect For

For used car buyers and sellers

Buyers screen used cars before wasting time. Sellers prove their car has nothing to hide. Everyone saves money.

Browsing Listings

See a car on Marketplace or Craigslist? Grab the listing photos and pre-check it before reaching out to the seller.

Before the Test Drive

Ask the seller for extra photos, run a pre-check, and only schedule a visit for cars that look clean.

Sellers Who Want Trust

Run a pre-check on your own car and share the report alongside your listing. Show buyers the car has nothing to hide.

Dealers & Lots

Attach inspection reports to your listings. Build buyer confidence and close faster with AI-verified condition reports.

Out-of-Town Buyers

Can't see the car in person? Pre-check it remotely with seller photos before booking a flight or a long drive.

International Imports

Buying cross-border? Get a condition report with market-adjusted pricing before committing to shipping costs.

How It Works

Pre-check any used car before you visit

Use listing photos, seller photos, or your own. Our AI screens the car so you only spend time on the ones worth seeing.

01

Grab the Photos

Save photos from the listing, or ask the seller to send you more. Exterior, interior, engine, tires — the more angles, the better.

02

AI Pre-Checks the Car

Photos scanned for damage, paint issues, and wear. Price checked against market value. VIN decoded for recalls and known problems.

03

Get Your Report

Quick Check ($4.99) to screen listings fast, or Full Inspection ($14.99) when you're serious. Results in under 2 minutes.

04

Visit Only the Good Ones

Skip the duds. Only schedule test drives and mechanic inspections for cars that pass your pre-check. Save time, gas, and mechanic fees.

Features

Know what you're walking into

AI catches what listing photos try to hide — before you waste a trip, a tank of gas, or a mechanic fee.

Photo Damage Detection

AI scans every photo for dents, scratches, rust, repaints, panel gaps, tire wear, and signs of prior accidents that untrained eyes miss.

Image Authenticity Check

Detects stock photos, screenshots from other listings, digitally altered images, and photos taken at different times or locations.

Price Intelligence

Is it overpriced, fair, or a steal? AI compares against market data for the make, model, year, and your region.

What to Check In Person

AI generates a make/model-specific checklist of what to inspect when you visit — including known issues at that exact mileage.

VIN Intelligence

Decode any VIN for full specs, recall history, and reliability data. Know what you're looking at before you go see it.

Secure Dashboard

Access all your reports anytime from your personal dashboard. Every inspection is saved and ready to review whenever you need it.

Pay Per Report

No subscription. No commitment.

Pay only when you're checking a car. Choose the depth that matches your needs.
