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).

Van Pre Purchase inspection - 2005 Hiace Petrol Manual
$150
Willetton WA 6155, Australia
30th May 2026
Toyota Hiace 2005 Petrol Manual - I have done a test drive and inspection, but would love to get a professional second opinion on issues I have found. It seems like brake rotors are bent or pads need replacement. Tyres on back axle seem quite worn down, maybe might change all 4. Suspension on back right was creaking on test drive. Gears were pretty hard to put in, so I heard maybe new gearbox oil needed? Maybe you will find more issues, please let me know everything you find and would do to this. I would also love to get an estimate on what it would cost to get everything fixed - just a ballpark, you won't have to fix anything, this is for me to know what costs I need to plan with.

I am after more than a basic check. Inspection to include: • Engine, transmission and drivetrain • Suspension, steering and underbody • 4WD system and drive modes • Electronics and infotainment • Full DTC scan of all systems • Check for signs of hard use or mods • Review of service history Vehicle is located in WA. Please let me know: • Your experience with Ranger Raptors • What diagnostic tools you use • Your availability and price Looking to get this done as soon as possible.
Courtney did a cracker job inspecting the car prior to purchase. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly knew what to look for. Based on his inspection alone, without any negotiation on my part, the dealership reduced the price and agreed to rectify an issue he identified. The service was absolutely worth it and I would definitely recommend him to others.
