How we compared them
Every provider below offers a used-car or pre-purchase inspection on its own website, which we read on 9 October 2026 (dubizzle Cars on 6 October 2026). We compared where the car is inspected, which emirates are covered, what is checked as each provider describes it, and the published price. A higher point count is not always a deeper check, because providers count items differently. QARO publishes this guide and is ranked on the same criteria; where another provider is the better choice, we say so.
