About us

We sell the cars we’d buy ourselves.

We won’t choose for you. But we rule out everything we wouldn’t buy ourselves.

White Toyota Corolla in the KARATS AUTO showroom

Every week we look at dozens of cars at trade auctions across Europe. Only one in ten makes it to the showroom. If anything doesn’t add up, we don’t haggle. We simply walk away.

What doesn’t make the cut.

  • Mileage that doesn’t match the ITV records
  • Structural damage in the report
  • Hidden respray
  • Lien or charge at the DGT
  • Gaps in the service history
  • Gearbox faults in the report
  • Signs of water in the cabin
  • Too many owners
  • Priced above its worth
  • Everything adds up. Off to the showroom.

The way a jeweller looks at a stone.

A diamond is graded on four qualities. So is a car. Hence our name.

History. Owners, servicing, ITV records. A gap in the story is already a reason to say no.

Mileage. The number on the dash has to match every service and ITV record.

Body. Every scratch, dent and respray is marked on the report’s damage map. You see it before you visit.

Mechanics. Engine, gearbox, electronics. If the report leaves a doubt, the answer is no.
