FAQ
How detailed is a pre-purchase inspection compared to a roadworthy check?
A pre-purchase inspection goes far beyond a standard roadworthy or safety check. It looks at the car’s mechanical condition, wear levels, service history and potential future repair costs. The goal isn’t just to confirm if the vehicle can be registered, but to give you a realistic idea of what ownership will look like. This helps you budget properly and negotiate the right price.
Can I arrange an inspection before seeing the car in person?
Yes. Many buyers ask for an inspection before committing to travel or meet the seller. This approach saves time and avoids surprises if the vehicle doesn’t match the description. The mechanic can provide a full written report and images so you can decide whether it’s worth inspecting yourself. It’s a simple way to make long-distance or online purchases safer.
What issues are most often found during used-car inspections?
Common findings include worn suspension components, oil leaks, uneven tyre wear, brake imbalance and outdated or missing logbook records. Electrical faults and minor accident repairs are also frequently detected. These problems aren’t always deal breakers, but knowing about them helps you factor repair costs into the price. A detailed report gives you the upper hand when negotiating.
