Production and quality

How is a completed vehicle inspected before delivery?

Every vehicle passes a 21-point factory inspection before packing, covering the systems that fail in service rather than the ones that look good in a showroom: electrical continuity and earthing, oxygen and suction pressure holding, anchorage torque, door and window sealing, lighting, braking and steering after modification, and the documentation set. The signed checklist ships with the vehicle.

In detail

The inspection is structured around failure modes, not around a visual walk-around. Electrical faults in a converted vehicle usually come from a rubbed cable or a missing earth, so continuity and bonding are measured rather than eyeballed. Oxygen and suction systems are pressure-tested and held, because a slow leak discovered by a paramedic at a call is a clinical event, not a service inconvenience.

Mechanical items are checked after the modification, not before. Braking performance, steering alignment and suspension condition are all affected by the weight and weight distribution of the conversion, so testing a bare chassis proves nothing about the finished vehicle.

Water ingress is tested with a hose rather than a visual check of the seals. Doors, roof penetrations, air conditioning lines and cable entries are the usual paths, and a vehicle that leaks is usually a vehicle where a grommet was omitted rather than a seal that failed.

The documentation set is inspected as a deliverable. That means the equipment manuals, the electrical schematics as built rather than as designed, the warranty terms, the spare parts list and the inspection record itself. A vehicle that arrives without the as-built schematics is difficult to maintain for its entire service life.

Further questions

Can we witness the inspection?

Yes. Buyer and third-party inspection are welcome and scheduled before packing. Tell us the standard in advance so any additional tests can be prepared.

What happens if an item fails?

The vehicle does not ship. The failure is corrected, the item is re-inspected and the checklist records the correction. A vehicle is never shipped with an open item marked as minor.
