Pre-Purchase Inspection for 2017 Kia Cerato ​I'm looking for a reliable and experienced mechanic to arrange a pre-purchase inspection of a 2017 Kia Cerato Auto with 84,000kms. ​The goal is to provide a detailed, unbiased report on the vehicle's condition. ​The mechanic must inspect and report on the following: ​Engine & Transmission: Check for any leaks (oil, coolant), listen for unusual noises, and confirm that the transmission shifts smoothly and correctly. ​Brakes: Inspect the condition of the brake pads and rotors, and check the brake fluid level. ​Suspension & Steering: Look for worn components like shocks, struts, and bushings, and check for any play in the steering. ​Body & Exterior: Examine the car's body for any signs of previous accident damage, rust, or dents. Check for consistent paintwork and panel gaps. ​Tyres: Measure the tread depth and check for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. ​Electrical Systems: Confirm that all lights (interior and exterior), air conditioning, power windows, and other electronics are in working order. ​Road Test: The mechanic must perform a road test to assess the car’s overall performance, handling, and to listen for any abnormal sounds or vibrations. Check service history. Flag any issues. Vehicle is in Hawker ACT. Inspection and report by tomorrow.

Fantastic service!! Thanks so much for the pre purchase inspection. Saved us buying a lemon car. Will use again.
