How We Test and Grade Green Parts Before Sale

How We Test and Grade Green Parts Before Sale

When you buy green parts, trust matters. At MotorGreen, we understand that customers need confidence in the safety, reliability, and suitability of the parts they purchase. That is why every green product we sell undergoes a structured testing, grading, and tracking process before it reaches our shelves or online listings.


Careful Removal and Initial Inspection

The process starts as soon as a vehicle enters our site. Once the car has been safely depolluted, our trained dismantlers remove parts carefully to avoid unnecessary damage. Each component is then inspected, checking for obvious wear, cracks, corrosion, or missing fasteners. Any part that does not meet our basic quality standards is separated and recycled.


Functional Testing Where Possible

For mechanical and electrical components, testing is a key step. Engines, gearboxes, alternators, and starters are checked wherever practical. Engines may be run or assessed before removal, whilst electrical components are tested using diagnostic equipment. This helps us identify working parts and avoid selling components that may cause issues later.


Cleaning and Preparation

Once a part has passed inspection and testing, it is cleaned and prepared for storage or sale. Cleaning is not just about appearance. Removing grease, dirt, and residue enables us to conduct a more accurate final check, ensuring the part is ready for customer installation. Well-prepared parts are also easier to handle, store, and transport safely.


Grading for Transparency

Every green part is graded based on its condition. This grading takes into account age, wear, cosmetic condition, and mechanical and electrical testing. Clear grading allows customers to understand exactly what they are buying and helps set realistic expectations. Transparency is essential, especially when supplying parts to workshops, exporters, and trade buyers who rely on consistent quality.


Full Traceability With Barcoding

Each approved part is labelled and barcoded before entering our warehouse system. This allows us to track every component from the original vehicle right through to sale. Being able to trace a part back to its source adds an extra layer of quality control and accountability and gives customers confidence in the part’s history.


Secure Storage and Accurate Listings

Once logged into our system, parts are stored in organised warehouse locations to prevent damage and mix-ups. Each item is photographed and listed accurately on our sales platforms, including our website and eBay store. Detailed listings help customers identify the correct part quickly and reduce the risk of incorrect orders.


Quality You Can Rely On

By combining careful dismantling, testing, grading, cleaning, and traceability, MotorGreen ensures that green parts are a reliable alternative to new components. This process supports sustainability while giving customers dependable parts they can trust. Buying green parts is not just better for the environment. With the right processes in place, it is also a cheaper and more practical choice for drivers and businesses alike.
