Buyers can now bid with even greater confidence at SMA auctions, at an SMA centre or online courtesy of the SMA Assured scheme.

A simple windscreen display tells a prospective buyer everything they need to know about a car, with a 72-hour guarantee that runs from the time of purchase.

The same information is also available to SMA’s growing audience of online buyers.

Every SMA assured used vehicle undergoes an extensive pre-sale check completed by an SMA vehicle inspector, with the results of the vehicle audit along with all known vehicle heritage details displayed in a standardised window display.

“Across SMA, we have extensive technical service expertise and a reputation for integrity and transparency. We are using these attributes to provide a new benchmark in terms of condition reporting. The proof of our confidence is in the guarantee issued with every assured vehicle sold,” said SMA’s managing director Bob Anderson.
