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).

Hi, I am looking to purchase a car but would like to bring a mechanic to the inspection to validate it’s a good purchase and run the usual checks. In particular the car owner said ‘The radio works, as do parking sensors, reversing camera etc but you cannot connect mobile via Bluetooth. My mechanic believes it is a fuse’. So I would like to ensure it’s just a fuse. The car is a 2013 Ford Kuga Titanium TF Auto AWD
Mattie turned up and the seller didn’t answer for over half an hour. Turns out they’d supplied the number wrong, and despite the fact he’d left and travelled some distance he turned around and did the job. Also communicated impeccably. Highly recommend.

Vehicle pre-purchase inspection. I need a qualified mechanic to inspect a vehicle before I make a purchase. The inspection needs to take place at the site of the vehicle and should cover the standard list of checks to assess a cars mechanical condition and highlight any work that is required immediately or in the near future. Familiarity with 4WD vehicles, particularly Prados and Pajeros would be great. Location will be northern beaches or north shore.
