INSPECTION STANDARD
In a market where nobody takes responsibility for a vehicle's past, we put a certified appraiser's signature on every unit before it is loaded.
Most used vehicles shipped into West Africa come out of auction and salvage channels and are sold on price alone. Mileage is unverified, flood and collision history is invisible in photographs, and the buyer discovers the truth only after the container lands.
That gap is the reason we exist. We do not compete on being the cheapest listing — we compete on being the only one that will show you the evidence before you pay.
Our protocol follows the same diagnostic discipline measured at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 in Automobile Technology: take an unfamiliar vehicle, work against manufacturer standards, system by system, and prove every finding instead of asserting it.
VIN, registration and lien status checked against official records. Cloned or encumbered vehicles never reach the yard.
Panel gaps, paint-depth readings and seam welds on every pillar, rail and floor. Cut or pulled structure is rejected outright.
Cold start, idle quality, boost, shift behaviour, fluid leaks and compression recorded with readings, not adjectives.
Full-system diagnostic scan. Odometer cross-checked against service records and ECU data before we quote a price.
On the lift: suspension, steering, bushings, brake wear, tyre date codes and underbody corrosion.
Acceleration, braking, tracking, noise and transmission behaviour under load, on a fixed route.
A numbered condition grade, dated photographs, the scan report and a walk-around video — issued before payment.
Panel and paint work finished to manufacturer colour, gloss and texture standards. Quoted separately, never buried in the price.
We do not issue inspection reports ourselves, and we think that is the right structure. A seller who inspects his own stock has a conflict of interest. Every unit is examined by an accredited independent laboratory — CMA and CNAS accredited for the domestic market, SGS, Bureau Veritas or equivalent for export.
A report is not the same thing as an opinion. Reports get things wrong: items left untested, readings that do not agree with each other, a battery figure that looks acceptable on paper and falls apart on a real charge cycle. Most sellers forward the file and move on. We go through it line by line, and this is what we look for:
Where our reading conflicts with the report, we take the stricter view. It costs us margin and occasionally costs us the car. That is the point.
A laboratory report is written for engineers. It tells you the battery is at 87 percent state of health and the cell delta is 32 millivolts. It does not tell you what that means for your money.
So every vehicle leaves with a written judgment from us: what the numbers mean in practice, what to expect over the next two years, what to watch, and the retail range we would price it at in your market.
And it leaves with a list of everything we could not verify. A unit older than five years has history nobody can fully reconstruct, and a seller who claims certainty on every line is not being straight with you. We mark what we know, what we believe, and what we simply cannot confirm.
We also log every unit we refuse — the buy and refuse numbers are available on request.
Condition grades and inspection findings are issued for the vehicle as inspected on the date stated. Photographs and scan reports form part of the report.

Mileage Verification
The odometer is one of the biggest risks in the used-vehicle trade. We film the dashboard, the VIN plate and the instrument cluster before shipping, so you can verify the kilometres yourself — before you pay.
Sample mileage check with English voice-over — Buick LaCrosse, 120,924 km on the clock
DIESEL BUYER GUIDE
In West Africa and Iraq Kurdistan (KRI), specialized workshops and spare parts are scarce — an SCR urea failure there is often nearly impossible to repair. Read this before choosing your diesel unit.
SHIPPING & LOGISTICS
Roll-on/Roll-off for drivable units, container loading for high-value or non-runners. We book, lash and photograph every shipment.
Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list and inspection certificate prepared for smooth destination clearance.
TRADE UPDATE
Good news for our Ghana buyers — paying in Chinese Yuan (RMB) is now simpler, faster and cheaper.
Stanbic Bank Ghana (a member of Standard Bank Group) has become the first bank in the country to give customers direct access to China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), approved by the Bank of Ghana. The service lets Ghanaian businesses and individuals settle eligible RMB payments straight from their Ghana Cedi accounts — removing the multiple intermediary banks and dollar conversions that used to slow down and add cost to China trade.
In June 2026, Standard Bank Group and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) were jointly authorised by the People's Bank of China as the "Renminbi Clearing Bank of Africa," enabling RMB clearing across 19 African countries. Stanbic notes its strategic partnership with ICBC lets it build Africa–China trade-finance products such as RMB-denominated letters of credit. For Horizon Trading's Ghana customers, this means payments to Shanghai can be settled in RMB with lower exchange cost and quicker arrival.
MARKET INSIGHT
On 11 September 2026, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other departments released the 15th Five-Year Plan for intelligent connected new energy vehicles (2026–2030). Here is what it means for dealers and private buyers abroad.
The plan sets out where China's car industry has to be by 2030. The signal is clear: the industry is entering a phase of fast, large-scale upgrading. The headline goals:
What this means for dealers and private buyers:
China's auto revolution is accelerating. Don't wait for the wave — ride it early.
