Avoid Costly Mistakes: Why a Pre-Purchase Car Inspection Is Essential in the UAE

Author icon May 12th, 2025 • Person icon Gaby

1. Introduction: The Risk of Skipping an Inspection

Buying a used car in the UAE? A good deal can turn into a disaster without a professional pre-purchase inspection. Hidden issues like accident damage or engine problems often surface after the sale. A recent survey by a major UAE auto platform found that over 80% of used car buyers who had a bad experience said it was due to issues undisclosed by the seller. At AutoHub, we help you inspect before you invest.
