A very special piece of modern machinery: The SLS AMG was a limited production supercar envisioned to be the spiritual successor of the historic Mercedes Benz 300SL Gull-wing. With it's unmistakable Gull-wing doors, retro coachwork and 50's styling queues - combined with new age technology and the world's most powerful naturally aspirated production engine, the 563-horsepower SLS was an instant classic. After a short production run, 2010 to 2014, values have remained strong and are likely to continue upwards.

Conducting MotorProbe Inspections out in the rain carries it's challenges but it never stops the merit of a pristine Porsche from shining through. To heighten your senses in an already impeccable driver's car, this 911 Carrera S has had subtle performance modifications fitted; the intake, the short shifter, the brakes, and topped off with the gnarly sound of the switchable DesignTek exhaust - on the road, this is driving effervescence.

An all wheel drive, all-rounder. One of our recent Pre-purchase inspections was on this BMW F31 X-drive Sport Estate, set for family car duties. On finding a very gloopy looking rear diff, the MotorProbe report was enough to encourage the dealer to have the diff serviced with fresh seals, and yet despite this being a dealership that sticks to 'a competitive fixed pricing policy', we were still able to mediate a £500 reduction along with having the front & rear bumpers repainted! A satisfying sale for the dealership and a proud new 3 series owner.

🥀Guards Red - One of the longest running colourways offered by since the 911's of the early 70s. Hard to think of a more iconic motorcar for a 's date!

A shark for the road. This 987 Cayman S is fitted with the illusive factory Design Aero kit comprising of the large fixed wing kicking up air at the rear and larger front spats, mimicking the voracious silhouette of the Cayman R.
We've only come across one other Cayman with the aero kit in the last year which was also quickly snapped up by another of our clients!

Another industry-first from the Swedish seatbelt pioneers - punctures and windscreen chips can now be repaired free-of-charge on any Volvo, regardless of age.

It doesn't matter how old your Volvo is, dealers will fix a repairable tyre or chipped windscreen free of charge - if it is viable to carry out the repair, that is.

Love or hate? The Porsche Panamera has been a 'marmite' model since it's release in 2009 but there's no denying it is the class of the field when it comes to driving dynamics against rival prestige 4-door super-saloons.

Sending out a big Thank You to all who have used MotorProbe for purchasing cars in 2021, and an even bigger thanks to those individuals who have continued to recommend and refer us, helping other perspective car buyers. Another bizarre covid year but each pre-purchase inspection has been an opportunity to get out and do what we do best, driven by an innate passion for details in these cars, so 2022's first inspection can't come soon enough!
Wishing you a healthy 2022 with many more happy miles of motoring ahead!
