Bought a car from them, Dekra report was inaccurate. Please be careful as it can't be trusted

01 Aug 2025, 11:38Dear Carte Blanche Team,
I’m writing to request your assistance in warning the public—through your investigative platform—about a serious and potentially life-threatening issue I experienced when purchasing a vehicle from We Buy Cars.
I re**** on a Dekra report provided during the sale, assuming it offered an honest and accurate assessment of the vehicle’s condition. Unfortunately, the report failed to identify major mechanical faults, which I only discovered after unknowingly driving an unsafe car on the highway. This negligence could easily have resulted in a fatal accident.
I believe this is not just a personal grievance but a matter of public safety. If other buyers trust these reports as I did, lives may be at risk. The vehicle’s condition was misrepresented, either through incompetence or willful omission—and consumers deserve to know that such “certified” reports cannot necessarily be trusted.
Please advise if Carte Blanche can help expose this issue to protect others. I am available to discuss the matter further and share full documentation.
Thank you for your time and commitment to consumer protection.
Kind regards,
Fred Labuschagne
