Pre-purchase car inspections
Buying a used car? A pre-purchase inspection shows you what a test drive won't: worn suspension, engine leaks, brake wear or old accident repairs. You get a clear, honest report that helps you buy, renegotiate or walk away, whether it's from a dealer or a private seller.

Why a pre-purchase inspection pays
Finds what a test drive won't
Worn suspension, engine leaks, brake wear or old accident repairs can all affect a car's safety, reliability and value.
Not just the seller's word
Without an inspection you're taking the seller's word for it, and risking repair bills soon after you buy.
Every key area checked
Engine, transmission, tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, electronics and more.
A clear, honest report
So you can buy with confidence, renegotiate or walk away.
Use it to negotiate
If we find issues, use the report to ask for a lower price, or for the seller to fix them before you commit.
Dealer or private sale
Either way, our goal is to help you avoid surprises and get value for money.
Ask the mechanic
Common questions
Can a Pre-purchase Inspection help me negotiate the price?
Yes! If any issues are found, you can use the report to negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to fix the problems before you commit to the purchase.
