A computer implemented method/program/apparatus for assessing the quality of a vehicle produced on a vehicle production line, the production line comprising a plurality of discrete vehicle production stages arranged to define a production sequence between an initial production stage and a final production stage. The method comprises identifying a vehicle assembly at a first production imaging station, capturing a first set of one or more production images of the vehicle assembly following processing at a first production stage and storing the first set of production images, capturing one or more assessment images of the vehicle assembly following processing at the final production stage and running a defect detection algorithm to identify defects on the vehicle using the assessment images then acquiring the production images in response to the defect detection algorithm identifying a defect on the vehicle.
