Assessing vehicles is not only time-consuming, but also requires a high level of expertise. With the Bosch Vehicle Health Certificate, Bosch is expanding its offering for workshops, fleet operators, used car dealers, vehicle appraisers as well as for private used car sellers and buyers with a service that provides a quick and easy software-based assessment of the vehicle's status.
