Before you buy a used car
A clearer decision before a costly commitment
A pre-purchase vehicle inspection gives you information that a short test drive and an MOT history cannot. It is designed to uncover visible faults, warning signs and areas that may need further attention.
Reduce the risk
Spot warning signs before the vehicle becomes your financial responsibility.
Negotiate with evidence
Use clear findings to discuss repairs or reconsider the asking price.
Save time and travel
We can inspect at a dealership or private seller’s location in the coverage area.
What the inspection covers
Key areas we inspect
The exact checklist depends on your chosen package, but these are the systems and problem areas buyers most often need clarity on.
