Pre-Purchase Inspections

Pre-Purchase Inspections

A Pre-Purchase Inspection is a comprehensive report of the condition of a vehicle. It is peace of mind for you as the buyer and can be a great negotiating tool with the seller should faults be found.

What gets checked in a pre-purchase inspection?

We always include a vehicle history check.

We include a diagnostic scan where possible (usually cars after 2003).

 

  • Engine

    Normally we start with checking the engine. Is it hot? Has it been started prior to the inspection?

    We check the fluids, oils, coolant, brake fluid etc.

    We check the engine bay for unusual noises or smells. We check the visible drive belts (not the timing belt), visible engine mounts, we look for oil / coolant / fluid leaks.

  • Interior functions

    We check the dash lights. We check all the electrical functions like wipers, horn, windows, steering wheel buttons, radio, seats functions, etc.

  • Exterior mechanical

    We check tyres and visible brakes (we do not take wheels of to inspect drum brakes). We check under the car, suspension, steering, driveshafts, fluid leaks, engine mounts, exhaust, radiator, underbody rust or damage, etc. We check the battery. We check the lights.

  • Exterior body

    We inspect the car outside car body for damage, scratches, rust, general cometic condition and for signs of previous accident damage.

  • Interior

    We check door handles, general interior condition like seats and trims, interior lights. We check the boot and spare wheel.

  • Test drive

    We do a 5 km test drive on which we follow the road rules. We listen for unusual noises, we accelerate, brake, shift through the gears, feel the steering, test cruise control, test if 4wd features engage smoothly, feel if the air con gets cold.

  • We have a brief look at the service book, but we do not call any mechanics who did the services.

  • We do not do compression checks.

  • We do not inspect modifications, retrofits, lpg systems or external additions things like tents or awnings.

Do I get a report?

  • At the moment we only offer verbal reports, that is a quick and easy way to explain the condition of a vehicle.

Do you give a warranty?

  • NO, we do NOT give any warranty or take any liability. And we don’t know any other company who does that.

    Other companies are hiding themself behind long and complicated terms and conditions. We don’t do that.

    Everything said in a pre-purchase report is just the opinion of the examiner.
