Pre-purchase inspections for used cars

Using a qualified mechanic to inspect a vehicle before purchase can save you money. The inspector will give an independent appraisal, highlighting any factors which may impact the value of the vehicle, putting you in a better position to negotiate and secure the best price possible.

Our inspectors are all specially trained mobile mechanics. They will arrive at the appointment in their own vehicle, with all the equipment needed to carry out a full pre-purchase vehicle inspection at a location of your choosing.

All our inspectors are fully qualified up to Level 2 in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair. All are experienced mechanics. All inspectors have liability insurance and trade insurance for full peace of mind.

Our reports are designed to give an honest and true representation of the condition of the vehicle you intend to buy. We do not offer a warranty. The report will highlight all relevant information which could impact the value of the vehicle, including condition, recommendations, items needing attention, repair estimates and a full summary so as a buyer you are fully informed.
