What do car inspection services include?
Car inspection services range from general check-ups of a vehicle’s status and performance to more specific assessments of its history and licensing. This is usually done regularly, either for maintenance inspections or assessing the car’s condition before putting it in the market or transferring its ownership. Here are some services that you can expect when you book a car inspection through Airtasker:
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Prior to buying or selling a used vehicle, one of the most important tasks to accomplish is a pre-purchase car inspection. Aside from giving you a basic rundown of what needs repairing, it can also supply you with the information necessary to attach a reasonable price tag for the vehicle being checked. Car warranty inspections are often a part of this process and can also be valuable input for a buyer to take note of before they make their final decision.
Â
Pink Slip Inspection
Vehicles more than five years old are the usual target for #pink slip inspections or E-Safety checks. When registering your car, your renewal papers might indicate the need for this. Upon doing so, an inspector can verify that your vehicle is road-worthy—allowing you to register your car for the year accordingly.
Blue Slip Inspection
Blue slip inspections check the roadworthiness of unregistered vehicles that fall under the following scenarios:
Â
- Autos that haven’t been inspected for the past three months
- Vehicles with no number plates
- Automobiles that have undergone significant adjustments in registration records
- Cars that have been imported from overseas
Â
This process ensures that your car will be ready to get back on the road once the registration has pulled through.
Â
Car Interior and Exterior Inspection
Any dent, scratch, or damage can make or break a car's overall appearance, which is why it's imperative to get a thorough interior and exterior inspection. Hire an expert to check every nook and cranny of a vehicle—from its exterior paint, headlights, and tyres to the dashboard and upholstery. Should any issue arise during the procedure, you can also book a professional #car detailing specialist to give an automobile that showroom quality it deserves.
Engine Inspection
An engine inspection or a car diagnostics test can spot all sorts of car problems even before they occur, sparing you and your vehicle from further damage and more costly repairs in the future. An expert mechanic will check all the essential car parts like the brakes, alternator, cooling systems, gaskets, battery, and suspension, among others. Electrical wirings will also be inspected to ensure that every connection is in its proper order.

Hi Jason. Still teeing things up with seller so I can't confirm a date yet. Just wondering what you do compared to MTA, Stateroads etc, please? I've owned 3 of these cars - EL, AUII, and a BFII, so know their quirks, but can't get down from Sydney to inspect. Also, your price please? Thanks. Shaun.

Pre-purchase Car Inspection

Isabella Plains ACT, Australia
2nd Feb 2025
2020 Peugeot 508 in Isabella Plains ACT It's a second hand car, that I'm planning to purchase as a private sale. I'd like a mechanic to inspect the car thoroughly, including a computer analysis and a test drive, and provide me with their opinion on the cars condition. I know the brake pads and rotors probably need replacing from the last service report, but otherwise it is I'm told in immaculate condition. I'm based in Sydney - so wont be there on the day but will be available by phone. Then I will use the inspection information to decide where I should come down to look at the car myself and proceed with the purchase. The seller is available all of Thursday, but is better they can also do Wednesday after 5pm or Saturday after 12pm.
