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).

Need to inspect following used car. I am looking at buying this from a dealer. It had not been used in 2 years. Does this compromise the car in any way? Also, no current rego, but dealer will register car on the day I pick up (for 3 months), is this a concern? 2015 BMW Z4 sDrive20i Edition M Sport E89 LCI Auto Other points: I visually checked and drove the car. Noticed some sound in steering wheel and aircon vent defective. Please check and provide feedback. Did not check whether following are working properly: air-condition, heated seats, screen, parking sensors - can I please have these checked and reported on as well please. Need check asap at dealer in Croydon, NSW, Australia
Mitchell is very professional and thorough. He connected with me prior to the inspection to understand my concerns and then promptly organised the inspection with the dealer. While inspecting the car, he uploaded pics and videos to demonstrate his concerns. He also sent through a through report later in the day. He was available to take call during the inspection and even after that to answer any follow up questions I had. Highly recommended.

I was able to get Mitchell inspect a WRX for me in 30 minutes time. At such a short time period, he was punctual (arrived even before I reached the place) and was inspecting the car. The questions asked were quite straight forward and professional with regards to what checks I have done so that he can add on to it. Best part I liked is no selling of any extra services such as further repairs, cost negotiation, references, etc.
