Strengths

Biggest gaps

⚠️ This is a quick assessment based on visual and functional inspection, not a technical expert appraisal. For a significant investment, we recommend having the equipment inspected by an independent technician before purchase.

This result is an indicative decision-support aid, not a formal technical appraisal or equipment valuation.

How the calculation works

The checklist has 20 questions in five weighted categories: external condition (20%), mechanical and technical condition (25%), electrical and control system (20%), documentation and history (15%), and safety and compliance (20%). Questions are rated 0–4 and the result is a weighted average of 0–100 with a radar chart. Below 40 points indicates poor condition, 80 and above very good.

Example: if only the mechanical (25%) and electrical (20%) categories are at maximum and the rest are missing, the result is 45/100, i.e. “average – needs a closer assessment”.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool replace a technical inspection?

No, it is a structure for a proper inspection. For critical machines, involve a specialist.

What must I check without fail?

Mechanical wear, the condition of the control system, documentation, spare parts availability and safety systems.

What if the result is average?

Use the shortcomings to negotiate a lower price, or order a closer assessment before purchase.
