What does a pre purchase car inspection include?
Cars are usually sold with a roadworthy certificate, but this only means your car is safe to drive on public roads. A pre-purchase car inspection is the only way to make sure there are no surprises when you drive away. A qualified mechanic will do a visual inspection, mechanical check, and test drive to spot any current or potential problems. They will also be aware of concerns that might be typical for the make or model of the car you’re buying and look specifically for those issues. Your mechanic will usually follow a comprehensive pre-purchase car inspection checklist to help you make an informed decision about buying the car. Some of these checks will include:
Exterior inspection
The outside of a car is a good indication of how well the car has been looked after. Panel damage or evidence of repaired damage could indicate the car has been in a serious accident. A pre-purchase car inspection will show whether repairs have been performed to a satisfactory standard. An exterior check also includes checks for rust and structural integrity as these issues may cause problems down the track.
Interior inspection
Your mechanic will conduct a visual inspection of the car’s interior, starting with seats and door trims. Then they’ll check all features inside the car operate normally, including lights, seats, seat belts, air conditioning, central locking, wipers, and windows. Next, they’ll check the dashboard instruments and gauges.
Mechanical inspection
Hidden mechanical problems are one of the pitfalls of buying a used car. And there’s no way of finding out the full extent of any car problems without pulling the engine apart. But an experienced mechanic can identify issues from just a visual check of the underbody and engine. Serious mechanical problems may also show themselves in other areas of the car. Brakes, suspension, wheels, tyres, gearbox, and steering will be checked, and a test drive will help to identify any additional concerns. Your mechanic will pay attention to electrical and cooling systems, as well as the alternator and battery. They will run a diagnostic scan to identify any other issues.
History check
You can make sure your new purchase isn’t hiding any secrets, and that it’s not at risk of repossession by including a history check as part of your pre-purchase car inspection. A history check (or REVS check) show any finance owing on the vehicle, if the car has been stolen, or whether it’s been in a major accident and written off. These records are kept and attached to your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN).

Nissan Navarra inspection
$150
Kellyville NSW, Australia
18th May 2025
I just out 150 on the price but let me know when you available and how much can cost me and we can The vehicle is a 2019 Nissan Navara Ute. It has had regular servicing, and overall it looks fine to me. I know it needs new tyres and a service soon, but the price seems fair, so I’m considering it as a good deal. The only thing that concerns me is when I first checked the oil. The oil came out black with some black clumps or particles in it. I cleaned the dipstick and checked again, and after that, the oil came out just black, which I know is normal if the car is due for a service this month. What I really want to make sure of is whether those black clumps are anything serious or not—that’s the most important thing I want to rule out before going ahead. What would your service cost to check this properly?

Pre-purchase Inspection of 2004 Jaguar X Type
$150
Kellyville NSW 2155, Australia
17th Mar 2025
Looking for a qualified mechanic or experienced PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) professional to check out a 2004 Jaguar X-Type in Kellyville, NSW before purchase. I'm interstate in QLD. It's about a $3,000 car with spotty service history, so I’m not expecting perfection—just want to ensure it’s mechanically sound, roadworthy, and free from any major failures or hidden issues. What I Need Checked: Engine & Transmission: No leaks, misfires, or worrying noises. Suspension & Steering: Any excessive play, knocking, or wear. Brakes & Tyres: Sufficient life left, no major issues. Electronics & Features: Basic functionality (windows, AC, warning lights, etc.). Body & Chassis: No major rust, accident damage, or structural concerns. Overall Assessment: Is it a reasonable buy for the price? Timing: Flexible but would like it done ASAP. Deliverable: A verbal or written summary (doesn’t have to be formal) of the car’s condition and any red flags. Let me know your experience and availability. Cheers!
Al did an interstate pre purchase on a used car for me. Did it in a day. Great communication, prompt and thorough. Highly recommend!
