We check used cars for buyers anywhere in Namibia — before you pay — so you don't waste money on a bad vehicle.
Before you pay for a car, let us check it.
Check This Car For MeYou found a car — maybe in another town, maybe you're just not sure. Here's exactly what happens when you ask ViewNam to check it, what you get back, and answers to the questions buyers ask us most.
Send us the car's details and where it is (the seller's advert is enough). Choose a package and pay the once-off fee.
Once payment is confirmed, our local inspector goes to the seller, checks the car in person, and sends you WhatsApp updates while they're there.
Within 24 hours you get photos, findings, and a clear Buy or Don't Buy recommendation — so you can negotiate, buy with confidence, or walk away.
Once your payment is confirmed we contact the seller and agree a time. Our inspector arrives with a checklist of over 180 points, an OBD fault-code scanner and a phone camera. They photograph the paperwork and every part of the car, check the VIN at every location it appears, look for accident and flood evidence, check every light, door, window and seat belt individually, inspect the engine bay cold, start the car and film it, and — on the Full Inspection — take it for a test drive.
While they're there you get live WhatsApp updates, so you can ask them to look at anything specific. Afterwards they write up the findings, estimate repair costs for anything wrong, and give their honest recommendation. You receive the full report within 24 hours.
It is a thorough, independent, professional assessment of the car's condition on the day, done by someone who works on cars for a living and is paid only by you. It is not a warranty or a guarantee — some faults can't be detected without dismantling the car — and it is not a roadworthy certificate. It is the difference between buying blind and buying with the facts.
Everything you need to know about the car before you hand over any money.
We check for accident damage, rust, repainted panels, and the overall condition of the car.
We inspect the engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, and everything that matters.
We check warning lights, electronics, and scan for hidden fault codes.
Clear photos of the entire car — inside, outside, engine, and any problems.
A simple report showing the real condition — plus our Buy or Don't Buy recommendation.
Our inspector messages you while they're at the car — so you can ask questions and get answers on the spot.
Anyone buying a used car in Namibia — especially from a private seller or dealer in another town. We work for you, the buyer, not the seller, so the report is honest even if it costs the seller the sale.
No — that's the whole point. You stay where you are. We contact the seller, arrange a time, and go see the car for you. You get the photos and report on WhatsApp.
Most inspections take between 1–3 hours depending on the package. You will receive your full report within 24 hours.
Our inspectors are experienced car experts — mechanics, car dealers, and specialists who work with vehicles every day. Each inspector is vetted before joining our network.
That's exactly why we inspect it. If we find issues, we show you clearly with photos and explain everything — so you can decide whether to buy or walk away.
Payment is done upfront before the inspection. You can pay via bank transfer (EFT) or eWallet services from all major banks. Our bank details are shown on screen as soon as you submit the booking, and we also send them on WhatsApp.
Yes. When booking, you can tell us any concerns — like engine issues, accident history, or anything the seller mentioned. Our inspector will focus on those areas.
No — but it helps you avoid buying a bad car. We give you an honest, professional assessment based on what we find during the inspection, so you can make the right decision.
Treat it as your answer. A genuine seller with nothing to hide almost always agrees — it costs them nothing and helps them sell. A refusal usually means there is something they don't want a professional to see. We'd advise walking away.
Yes. We inspect at dealers, private homes, workplaces and car yards. Dealers are used to independent inspections, and a good one will welcome it. We simply need the dealer's contact details and the car's stock number or advert.
That's up to you — and now you have facts. Buy with confidence, use the findings to negotiate the price (our report lists estimated repair costs), or walk away and let us check the next car. Many buyers recover the inspection fee several times over in the negotiation alone.
Completely. ViewNam is paid by you, the buyer, and only by you. We have no relationship with dealers or sellers, earn nothing from the sale, and our inspectors are told to report exactly what they find — even if it kills the deal.
Yes — and they're the vehicles that need it most. For bakkies and 4x4s we check chassis, suspension and drivetrain wear from gravel roads. For imports we verify the VIN at every location, NaTIS status and police clearance so the car can actually be registered in your name.
22 towns across Namibia: Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Oshakati, Ongwediva, Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, Tsumeb, Grootfontein, Otjiwarongo, Okahandja, Khorixas, Outjo, Opuwo, Gobabis, Rehoboth, Karibib, Mariental, Keetmanshoop, Lüderitz and Oranjemund. If the car is somewhere else, send us the location and we'll confirm availability.
A clear document you can read on your phone: vehicle details, an overall score, the key issues found with estimated repair costs, the inspector's advice, a Buy / Don't Buy recommendation, and item-by-item ratings for every part of the car — with photos. You can see a sample report on this site.
Still unsure? Send us the car and we'll guide you — or WhatsApp us.
Tell us which car and where it is. We go check it and send you the truth — before you pay.
