No compression check. They do drive it for a bit and check for smoke
Sure they don’t really know as much about imports as the workshops do and I had the same opinion that it’s not worth doing the test until I had one done on my 180. They give you a very good indication of the condition of the car and they do go over it with great detail. The report itself is a very detailed 2 page summary and tells you the overall condition and the condition of separate components, i.e., Engine, electronics, drive train, cosmetic... etc
Not good if your car is stuffed though
