Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection

What it is

What is a pre-purchase vehicle inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is an independent examination of a vehicle you are considering buying — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electrics, body, tyres and fault codes.

We travel to the seller's address anywhere in Brisbane, inspect the car on the spot, road test it, and give you a clear report on condition, likely upcoming costs and whether the asking price stacks up.

Why it matters

Why this service is required

• A used car is one of the largest purchases most people make, and hidden accident damage, oil leaks or a tired transmission can cost thousands within months.
• Sellers are not obliged to disclose mechanical faults on a private sale, and a shiny detail job hides a lot.
• An inspection report is powerful negotiating leverage — it often pays for itself several times over on the price alone.
• It also tells you whether the car will pass a roadworthy inspection before you commit.
