What Is a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is a detailed mechanical and safety assessment of a used vehicle carried out before purchase. It identifies existing issues, potential future repairs, and overall vehicle condition so you can make an informed choice.

Our inspections are completed by a qualified mobile mechanic and focus on the components that matter most when buying a used car.

What We Check During a Pre-Purchase Inspection

Each inspection includes a comprehensive review of the vehicle, including:

Engine condition and performance

Battery health and charging system

Cooling system and signs of overheating

Warning lights and onboard diagnostics

Brakes, suspension, and steering components

Transmission and drivetrain operation

Visible oil leaks and fluid condition

Tyres, wheels, and underbody inspection

General roadworthiness and safety concerns

If issues are found, we explain them clearly so you understand what they mean for the vehicle and your budget.
