I am so glad we had Jimmy in our corner before we went through with buying a car! Jimmy has been top notch - professional, punctual, and responsive, all for a very short notice booking. The reports he sent after the inspection were incredibly thorough and really helped us in our decision. If in doubt, I'd say go with Jimmy!

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).

Assist with car service and rwc pre inspection
$100
Preston VIC, Australia
26th Aug 2025
Hi there! Expression of interest… I have just recently bought a 1998 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 auto, unregistered and without a rwc. I need help servicing it and potentially doing a rwc pre inspection. I have a very tight budget and would like to learn how to service my car myself. I am looking for someone who is willing to run me through the basic steps of servicing a car and also to give me a basic rundown of where each part is and how it works. I have access to an online manual for my car which i have been reading through. In all honesty (in my not so expert opinion) i believe shes in quite a good condition as she has been owned by 2 mechanics in the last 3 years. I am aware that doing a full in depth service can be a lot of work (especially without a hoist) so i am not expecting to fully service and repair my car with my budget, but would like to see if anyone is willing to help me with this. If this sounds like something you would be willing to do please reach out :))

I need a pre-purchase car inspection.

Eden Park VIC 3757, Australia
26th Jan 2025
I need a basic inspection done on a 1976 Bedford campervan that I want to purchase, as it doesn't come with a RWC. Some experience with older cars would be helpful, and some experience with campervans/caravans would be appreciated, but neither is strictly necessary. It LOOKS like a decent buy, but I wouldn't know a spark plug from a timing chain, and just because of its age I'm expecting it to have a few issues - so I'd just like to know what sort of odds there are of me being able to drive it back into town without blowing myself up in it first! 😉 No, seriously, I'd just like to know if there's anything major I should be worried about, and what issues are likely to come up in a roadworthy inspection, etc. Thanks!
