Know what you are buying
Before you commit to a used vehicle, an independent inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of its condition.

Prices shown are starting prices and may vary depending on the vehicle and the inspection requirements.
Buying a used vehicle is a big decision. Our pre-purchase inspection looks beyond the surface so you can buy with confidence — or walk away knowing why.
When a pre-purchase inspection makes sense
- You are considering buying a used vehicle
- A private sale with limited history
- A deal that seems too good to be true
- You want peace of mind before committing
What we inspect
- Assess the visible mechanical condition and how the engine runs
- Check brakes, steering, suspension and tyres
- Inspect fluid condition and look for leaks
- Scan for stored fault codes and check warning lights
- Look over the underbody for corrosion and signs of past accident repair
- Carry out a road-test where practical and summarise anything needing further investigation
Why an independent inspection matters
A short test drive rarely reveals everything. An independent inspection can uncover issues that are not obvious to a buyer, helping you make a more informed decision — or negotiate — before you commit.
