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.

Engine and leaks
Gearbox operation
Tyres and brakes
Bodywork and repairs
Visible rust and corrosion
Suspension and steering
Road-test behaviour
Electronics and warning lights
