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).

Pre purchase inspection for 2021 Honda Fit Hybrid JDM
$178
Campbellfield VIC 3061, Australia
15th May 2026
Hi, I’m looking for someone experienced with Japanese import cars to inspect a 2021 Honda Fit Hybrid before I decide whether to buy it. The car is a JDM Honda Fit Hybrid e:HEV listed for $19,500 driveaway. I’d like a proper pre purchase check, not just a quick look around. Ideally I need someone who can check: - Engine, hybrid system and warning lights - OBD scan for hidden fault codes - Transmission and driving feel - Suspension, brakes, tyres and underbody condition - Signs of accident repair, repainting, rust or water damage - Interior condition and electronics - Reverse camera, sensors, adaptive cruise, lane warning and safety features - Service history, books, spare key and general paperwork - Odometer consistency and whether the kilometres look genuine - Import and compliance details, since this is a JDM car - Whether the asking price seems fair based on condition A short test drive would be great if the seller allows it. Please provide photos or videos of anything concerning and a simple written summary at the end. A quick phone call after the inspection would also be appreciated so I can understand whether it is a good buy or something to avoid. Looking for someone reliable, honest and preferably a mechanic or someone with strong experience inspecting Japanese imports and hybrids.
