Why a pre-purchase inspection is essential
Used cars are sold as seen. Once money has changed hands, it is very difficult to reclaim it. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage gives an honest, unbiased assessment. It can reveal expensive hidden faults — a failing timing chain, worn clutch, DPF about to block, undeclared accident damage, or a service history that does not match the claimed mileage.
What we check
Structural: evidence of previous accident damage, welding, repair filler, or panel misalignment. Mechanical: engine compression, oil condition, coolant condition, brake wear, tyre condition, suspension, steering, exhaust, gearbox, clutch, driveshafts. Electrical: full vehicle health check scan for stored fault codes, battery test, charging system. Cosmetic: bodywork, glass, interior.
The inspection report
A written report itemising every finding — major items, minor items, advisories, and items to monitor. We give an honest opinion on whether the car represents good value and flag items that should be reflected in price negotiation.
