BCA has signed up the RAC to inspect some 750,000 vehicles a year, augmenting its ‘Assured’ scheme.

The deal, believed to be the largest of its kind in the UK, will see the RAC carry out pre-sale inspections on around 750,000 vehicles a year

The programme delivers a 30+ point independent pre-sale mechanical inspection on vehicles sold by BCA, helping to ensure buyer confidence.

The three-year tie-up with RAC, said to be the largest of its kind, was awarded following a competitive pitch and will see inspections carried out at BCA’s remarketing centres nationwide.

The RAC will also provide additional vehicle data to give BCA extra insight into vehicle condition and to advise on how the process of individual inspections can be streamlined without compromising quality, to cope with the rising numbers of vehicles that BCA remarkets annually.

RAC business roadside director Phil Ryan said: “We’re confident we have a service that offers the scale and depth of experience that will bring significant benefits to the successful BCA Assured programme.”
