Buying a used car is a practical and value-driven decision that helps you save a hefty amount while you enjoy the amazing feeling of driving the car you love. But for many, buying a used car comes with a fair share of risk and anxiety. From odometer tampering to hidden mechanical and electrical issues, there are several things that can haunt you if left unchecked.
This is where CARS24 CarTruth Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) steps in to make a meaningful difference, by turning what could have been an uncertain purchase into a confident and data-backed decision. With comprehensive inspections conducted by trained professionals, CARS24 leverages the use of professional diagnostic tools to catch hidden problems before you pay, with a detailed inspection report generated in just 60 minutes. From verifying ownership and accidental history to checking pending loans, here’s how CARS24 turns risk into reliability.
Comprehensive Inspections, Backed by Technology
The biggest hurdle that keeps prospective buyers away from used cars is the fear of bringing home an unreliable car plagued with hidden issues. To tackle this, CarTruth PDI offers a comprehensive 300-point inspection process that combines human expertise with advanced diagnostics tools to conduct OBD/ECU scans, sensor checks and a details assessment of core components such as engine, transmission, battery, brake and safety systems, etc.
This deep inspection process ensures that even hidden electrical or software faults are caught before you make a decision. By setting a high standard for used car inspections, CarTruth PDI turns technical diligence into unmatched buyer confidence.
Checks That Go Beyond The Surface
When it comes to buying a used car, quality assurance is only half the battle won. That is why CarTruth PDI also examines what lies beyond what meets the eye. Every CarTruth PDI inspection includes an in-depth verification of ownership and registration records through RTO and VAHAN data, along with checks for hypothecation status, pending traffic challans and court cases, to transparently flag risks before you make a move.
For a used car buyer, this added layer of due diligence is what makes the used car buying experience truly memorable. A car with an unresolved legal case or undisclosed accident record can create long-term financial or safety risks. By checking these red flags early, CarTruth PDI ensures that no surprise expenditures or liabilities follow after the keys change hands.
AI-Powered Valuations
Inflated pricing is a dark reality of the used car market. To address that, CarTruth PDI incorporates an AI-powered valuation engine that is built on over 10 lakh real transactions concluded across India since 2015.
The AI-powered valuation engine adjusts factors such as wear and tear, variant, location, and market demand to help buyers understand the fair market price of the car they are evaluating. The outcome? More informed negotiations and fewer chances of overpaying, leading to a buying experience that is filled with unmatched confidence and peace of mind.
Accountability You Can Count On
Assurance is rare to find in the used car market. But CarTruth PDI makes it a tangible reality through its industry-first ₹50,000 Moneyback Promise.
If any used car inspection report generated by CarTruth PDI misses out on any of the following critical red flags, CARS24 PDI promises a ₹50,000 Moneyback.
- Incorrect Backlist/Theft History
- Odometer rollback beyond 2 per cent
- Missed Accident History
- Missed Flood Damage History (till last service record)

This accountability is not just a policy; it’s truly a step that converts pre-purchase anxiety into unhindered confidence.
