Suggested reads about Pre Purchase Car Inspection

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).

Must be a registered mechanic and be insured and provide a guarantee of work. I need a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection on this 2011 Lexus LX570, starting with a full OBD-II diagnostic scan and a rigorous road test to evaluate transmission shifting, engine performance, and 4WD engagement. Under the hood, specifically check the 5.7L V8 for common cam tower oil leaks and valley plate coolant leaks, alongside a general assessment of all fluids, belts, and hoses. Hoist the vehicle to thoroughly scrutinize the frame, undercarriage, and wheel wells for any signs of surface or structural rust, while also inspecting panel gaps, paint consistency, and factory weld points for any evidence of historical crash damage or concealed bodywork repairs. Finally, assess brake and tire wear, and test the Active Height Control (AHC) suspension system through all its height settings to ensure it operates smoothly without fluid leaks or accumulator pressure loss. Provide full photo suite of car and a written report of findings.

Schofields NSW 2762, Australia

17th Jun 2026

I need an experienced mechanic or service technician to complete a pre-purchase inspection on a 2018 Hyundai Kona in Schofields 2762 NSW. I'd like them to check that the car has been serviced (look for logbooks, service stickers etc), has no rust, check fluid levels, check for any body damage or signs of accident repair, check for any warning lights, complete a cold start and listen for any signs of engine trouble, test drive it for a couple km, check engine and so on. Also check that the car has not been stolen, been on an accident, or is under financing. I would also appreciate advice on steps to follow after purchase as this is my first car and I don't know exactly what's needed to transfer ownership. Time is 5.30pm today.

Ranjit was very thorough when doing the car inspection. He took a good amount of time checking everything in detail, taking pictures and so on. Very happy with his service. Totally recommend.
