A used vehicle can look excellent while still carrying expensive mechanical or maintenance risks. A pre-purchase inspection gives you more information before you commit.
Typical checks
- Visible mechanical condition
- Warning lights and diagnostic scan where applicable
- Fluids, leaks and obvious signs of neglect
- Tyres, brakes and suspension observations
- Road-test behaviour where permitted
- General condition and maintenance concerns
The goal is to help you identify concerns that may affect the purchase decision or future ownership cost.
