Ian Bradley corrupt worker
I am writing to formally raise concerns regarding the inspection carried out by Peter Bradley on my Range Rover.
Mr Bradley was appointed by the finance company, which immediately raises questions about the independence of the assessment. An independent inspection should be exactly that—unbiased and thorough. Unfortunately, this was not my experience.
The inspection itself was extremely limited. My vehicle was not properly examined—there was no use of ramps, and the assessment appeared to consist of little more than starting the engine on my driveway. As a result, the report produced was both incomplete and inaccurate.
Crucially, my vehicle had undergone a full engine restrip prior to the inspection, and I have clear evidence that a serious fault was present at the time of sale. This was not properly acknowledged. Instead, the report made only a vague reference to a crankshaft seal previous repair and failed to address the significant underlying problems.
Additionally, I was informed that fault codes could not be time-stamped or linked to when issues occurred, which is misleading. Given that the vehicle was inspected just six weeks after major engine work, it is entirely reasonable to associate the current faults with that work, particularly where components had been disturbed.
I was also concerned by unprofessional remarks made during the inspection, including personal opinions about Range Rover vehicles that were irrelevant and inappropriate in a professional context. He also told me he wife wanted a Range Rover and he told her no, and told me to "fire the car". I live decile 8 area which means my neighbourhood is among the top 20-30% most advantaged areas in England. It indicates a relatively low-deprivation area compared to national statistics, which ranks areas from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived). I have no idea why would make such an odd statement as a professional i would never take his advice nor did i find it disguised under a joking context even funny, He did seem a very odd man not a one you want to have your address or poking around my drive , i;m also surprised he even had a wife. My car should have been towed to a local reputable garage for in depended diagnostics inspection i was fooled by words like !we will appointment this! and "inspect at your drive blah blah blah". they don't want anyone professional looking or a diagnostic report done it which is against them they want you to trust them so they can manipulate the evidence and leave out important points to assume user fault or these things just happen new faults can occur at any time, company is not even English, reputable or well known, never heard of them before in my life until they were appointed.
Overall, I do not believe this inspection met the standard expected of an independent expert. The lack of thoroughness, failure to address key issues, and unprofessional conduct raise serious concerns about the validity of the report. i was sadden by this in all honestly the affect this had on my family and being non mobile for children schools etc and emergencies is soul destroying a car is a big part of someone life and livelyhood.
