PRE-PURCHASE VEHICLE INSPECTION – $360 FIXED COST

Buying a used European vehicle? Our Pre-Purchase Inspection is designed to give you a clear understanding of the vehicle’s current mechanical and overall condition before you commit to the purchase, so you can buy with a peace of mind!

Our experienced technicians carry out a comprehensive inspection covering:

  • Diagnostic Scan: Manufacturer-specific diagnostic scan to identify stored fault codes and electronic system issues where applicable across various modules including the engine and transmission.
  • Engine & Mechanical: Engine condition, fluid levels, leaks, belts, cooling system and visible components.
  • Transmission & Drivetrain: Gear shifting, clutch operation, unusual noises and drivetrain condition.
  • Brakes: Brake pad and disc condition, brake operation and visible wear.
  • Suspension & Steering: Shock absorbers, control arms, bushes, steering components and signs of excessive wear.
  • Tyres & Wheels: Tyre condition, tread depth, pressures and wheel condition.
  • Exterior: Body panels, lights, mirrors, glass, wipers and general exterior condition.
  • Interior & Electronics: Warning lights, air conditioning, electrical functions, windows, locks, seats and other major interior systems.
  • Road Test: Assessment of engine performance, transmission operation, steering, braking, noises and overall driving behaviour.

VEHICLE HISTORY & REGISTRATION CHECKS

As part of our Pre-Purchase Inspection, we also verify the vehicle’s registration details and conduct a PPSR search to help identify important information associated with the vehicle.

This may include checking for:

  • Current registration details and status.
  • Vehicle identification details, including VIN.
  • PPSR records, including any registered security interests (finance) recorded against the vehicle.
  • Written-off or stolen vehicle information where available through the relevant checks.

These checks provide an additional level of confidence when considering the purchase of a used vehicle.

INSPECTION REPORT

Following the inspection, we provide you with a clear summary of our findings, including any existing faults, safety concerns, wear items or recommended repairs and maintenance identified during the inspection.

Please note: A Pre-Purchase Inspection is a condition assessment and is not a guarantee that future faults will not occur. Some internal, intermittent or concealed faults may not be detectable during a standard inspection.
