What is a pre-purchase inspection?

When you book a pre-purchase inspection, a professional mechanic will look over the vehicle and take it for a road test.

The comprehensive inspection will cover a huge range of checks, including checks on:

• Vehicle lighting
• Engine (including revs check and drive belts)
• Fluids
• Radiator
• Transmission
• Brakes
• Underbody
• Body & Paint Condition
• Interior checks
• Windscreen & Wipers
• Wheels & Tyres
• Steering & Suspension
• Instruments & Gauges
• Stereo, Radio and SATNAV (if fitted)
• Electrical System
• Heating & Air Conditioning System
• Seats & Seatbelts

By carrying out these Pre-Purchase Vhecile checks, they can tell you with confidence whether their are any issues with the vehicle - for instance:

• Has the vehicle been involved in a major accident?
• Does the body inspection show any signs of accident damage, corrosion or issues with structural integrity?
• Does the engine operate as it should and show signs of a regular car service at a car dealership or other service centre?
• Is brake operation as expected?
• Are their oil leaks or other fluid issues?
• Do the seat belts operate correctly?
• Does the car require any repair work?

Of course, these are just a few of the points covered in the peace of mind detailed digital reports that you'll received - and most of the time you'll get your report instantly. This means you can make a smarter purchase at a price that's right for you.

When should a pre-purchase car inspection be carried out?

If you're paying for a detailed report on a car, it's a good idea to organise it for just before you view or negotiate a price for that car.

By doing so, you can tell whether you're buying a car with a clean bill of health. Of course, if any issues are identified, then you're in a position to make an offer on the car that reflect the price of any work required.

If further work is required, you can use Auto Hero there and then to find workshops in your area and get an idea of prices.
