Buying used motorcycles at auction has become increasingly popular among the public. These auctions feature not only rare classic or limited-edition motorcycles but also ordinary ones previously owned by companies or government agencies.
One of the main reasons for purchasing used motorcycles at auction is the significantly lower price. The sale price is also considered fairer because it is calculated based on the actual condition of the motorcycle at auction.
To ensure that buyers get a motorcycle whose quality objectively matches its price, the inspection performed by the auction company’s inspectors is crucial.
These inspectors must not only have the skills to check the motorcycle’s condition but also maintain integrity throughout the process.
The skills and integrity of inspectors largely depend on the work culture and professionalism of their auction companies. One trusted auction company with an excellent reputation is IBID (PT Balai Lelang Serasi), a subsidiary of PT Serasi Autoraya (Astra Group).
IBID offers an IBID Motorcycle Valuation (IMV) service, where motorcycles up for auction undergo thorough inspection and evaluation.

The IMV service delivers a report on the results of the physical and technical inspection, assigning a grade from A to E, similar to the car inspection results provided by Astra Car Valuation (ACV).
IMV not only improves used motorcycle auction services but also makes it easier for auction participants to understand the actual condition of the motorcycles.
IBID Motorcycle Valuation inspects motorcycles in three key areas: the frame, body, and engine. IMV also authenticates vehicle documents, such as Title Registration Papers (BPKB) and Vehicle Registration Certificates (STNK).
These tasks are performed by competent inspectors who uphold their professional ethics and maintain integrity.
Another benefit of IMV is its availability at all IBID branches. In addition, IMV provides a comprehensive and accurate inspection report. Therefore, auction participants can learn about the actual condition of their desired motorcycle, regardless of its location.
The inspection is comprehensively, thoroughly, and objectively carried out in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The three areas of inspection are the frame, body, and engine, which reflect the motorcycle’s condition as it is.
The motorcycle inspections utilize the latest technology, ensuring accurate and objective results that can be accounted for.

In addition, all inspectors are fully certified. So, it’s not just about theoretical understanding but also technical and practical knowledge of the parts of the inspected vehicles.
The motorcycle grade determined by IMV directly influences its current market price. Naturally, a motorcycle with an A grade will be priced higher than those with C or D grades.
The brand and type of the motorcycle also play a role in determining the sale price. IMV service benefits both sellers and buyers by ensuring that used motorcycles are priced according to their actual condition.
