We publish the faults, not just the photographs.
Two hundred checks across ten sections, carried out at the hub before a car is listed. The whole report goes on the car page including anything that failed and what we did about it.

Why we show what failed
Most certification badges are marketing. Ours is a document, and it says where the car is weak as well as where it is strong.
The reasoning is simple: a buyer who finds a fault we did not disclose stops believing the other 199 checks. Hiding one scratch costs more in returns and reputation than it ever saves in sales.
Pass
Within spec. Nothing to do.
Attention
Serviceable now, worth watching. We tell you when.
Replaced
It failed, so we fixed it before listing — at our cost.
Every scratch, mapped
Cosmetic marks are plotted on a diagram of the car and photographed individually. They do not affect the certification score, and we do not touch them up for the listing photos.
A three-year-old car with no marks at all has usually been resprayed. We would rather show you four honest scuffs.
