Manheim Europe has started a nationwide programme to implement its unique vehicle inspection and certification scheme, Certified Plus, in its 19 auction centres.

Mark Yates, Manheim Europe group operations director, said it was increasing the Cap Clean figures by between 5-8% on vehicles receiving the Certified Plus inspection.

Certified Plus offers a 40-point inspection, a certificate to confirm the quality and condition of the vehicle, plus a five-day guarantee to the buyer.

Currently available in 14 centres, Manheim predicts the implementation of the programme to be completed at the remaining centres – Glasgow, Gloucester, Middlesborough, A1 Knottingly and St Albans – by the end of the year.
