01 / When this service is relevant

When this service is relevant

What is my vehicle worth, or what damage do I have to pay for? This question arises particularly with leasing and rental contracts. intertaxexpert offers various appraisals to take all the necessary factors into account.

Preparation of diminished-value appraisals – service for leased and rented vehicles returned at the end of a contract

02 / What is documented and assessed

What is documented and assessed

We determine the condition of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, vans, motorcycles and off-road vehicles for you.

If a vehicle's condition deviates from the standard because of damaged parts or accident damage, the diminished-value appraisal documents the extent to which necessary repairs or previous accidents contribute to the reduction in value. This service is designed particularly for processing transactions involving leased and rented vehicles returned under a contract with a fixed residual value, where only value-enhancing or value-reducing factors still need to be considered.

We document the following facts:

  • General vehicle data (such as specification, initial registration and mileage)
  • Standard and optional equipment
  • Value-enhancing factors (such as exchange units and value-enhancing repairs)
  • Necessary repairs (such as damage, wear to safety-relevant and other parts, and missed inspections)
  • Missing parts (such as removed or dismantled standard accessories and incomplete onboard tools)
  • Reduction in value due to pre-existing damage (repaired accident damage)

03 / Professional context

Professional context

Your vehicle undergoes a critical visual inspection (without dismantling) of the interior, engine compartment and luggage compartment, as well as the bodywork, including an inspection of the underside and chassis. We also check the functionality of equipment components and take a short test drive.

The diminished-value appraisal states the repair value (100%) and the diminished value. The purchase, sale or replacement value is determined according to the customer's requirements.
