Mechanical condition
Engine operation, visible leaks, fluid levels, abnormal noises and other signs of developing faults.
INDEPENDENT CHECKS BEFORE YOU BUY
Mobile pre-purchase vehicle inspections.
Our independent pre-buy car inspection helps you understand a used vehicle before money changes hands. We attend the seller or dealership, inspect the areas covered by your package and give you clear findings—not a sales pitch.
WHAT WE CHECK
A detailed vehicle pre-purchase inspection.
A polished advert and a short test drive cannot confirm a car's true condition. Our inspections focus on the mechanical, electronic, structural and safety-related evidence that can affect your decision and your costs after purchase.
Diagnostic scan
Professional electronic fault-code checks on supported systems, according to the package selected.
Bodywork and structure
Paint depth, panel alignment, corrosion and visible evidence of previous accident repairs.
Road test
Steering, braking, suspension, gearbox and drivetrain behaviour where a safe test is permitted.
Tyres, brakes and wheels
Visible condition, wear, tread, discs, pads and alloy-wheel damage.
Report and buying advice
Photographs, clear findings, repair priorities and practical advice before you commit to the car.

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION FAQ
Questions before you book.
Clear answers about our independent mobile inspection service.
What is a pre-purchase vehicle inspection?
It is an independent assessment of a used vehicle before you buy it. We attend the vehicle, examine the areas included in your package and report the condition and risks we find.
Is this the same as a pre-buy car inspection?
Yes. Pre-purchase inspection, vehicle pre-purchase inspection and pre-buy car inspection are common names for the same type of independent check before payment or collection.
Where does the inspection take place?
We are mobile and normally attend the dealership, private seller or another agreed vehicle location. You do not need to bring the car to us.
Do I receive a report?
Yes. Reports and photographs are normally provided on the same day, followed by clear buyer-focused advice from the inspector.
Can you inspect performance or specialist cars?
Yes. Supercars, performance cars, classics and motorhomes are covered by our Specialist package. Category, imported and fully electric vehicles require Premium as a minimum.
