Abstract
A system and device for generating focused inspection recommendations and estimating a cost for reconditioning pre-owned vehicles. Embodiments of the invention provide for individualizing and streamlining the process of inspecting a pre-owned vehicle, and more particularly, for identifying components with historically high failure rates. Through analyzing several data inputs, including vehicle data, inspection and arbitration data, third-party data, and sensor data, a recommendation of a focused inspection of one or more components is provided. Additionally, the analysis further determines an estimated cost for reconditioning of the vehicle, based upon the analysis of the data inputs. The focused inspection recommendation and the estimated reconditioning cost can then be displayed to the inspector using a programmed user interface.
