Pre-Purchase Inspection

A dealer-grade inspection before you buy a used car. Paintwork, mechanical and electronic checks plus a road test, with a written report.

When you need this

  • Buying privately or from a small dealer
  • Seller can't show a service history
  • The price looks too good for the model
  • You suspect repainted or repaired panels
  • The car is out of manufacturer warranty

What's included

A used car’s condition is difficult to judge from a viewing, and cosmetic preparation can hide accident history. A pre-purchase inspection takes around two hours and gives you an independent picture before you commit.

We inspect mechanically and electronically: paint-depth readings on every panel for hidden bodywork, a full diagnostic scan, fluid condition, brakes and suspension on the ramp, and a road test. You get a written, photographed report the same day.

The report is yours to keep, and gives you a factual basis for negotiating the price or walking away.

Included work

  • Paint-depth readings on every panel
  • Full diagnostic scan with live data
  • Ramp inspection of brakes and suspension
  • Road test by a senior technician
  • Written, photographed report the same day

Common questions

Can you inspect at the seller's location?

The most complete inspection happens at the workshop, on the ramp. If a seller will not allow that, it is worth asking why.

How long does it take?

Around two hours, with the written report delivered the same day. Book a slot before you agree terms with the seller.

Will the report tell me what repairs are coming?

Yes. The report lists what needs attention now, what is likely to need attention soon, and what each item means for the price.
