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).

Highland Park QLD 4211, Australia
17th Mar 2024
Hiya Dean, I'm just wondering how much it would cost to get a full pre-purchase inspection on a 2008 Forester in Highland Park? I want a RWC if that's something you can do, but I also wanna make sure it gets checked for signs of head gaskets leaking, check the transmission, compression test, signs of heavy towing and any accident damage.  The odo is currently at around 262k. I'm also wondering about the timing belt as this owner doesn't know, but thinks maybe it was done at 200k, however I'm pretty sure this model should be done at every 125k maximum. So either the owner before him had it done fairly early, or it's overdue. And I think the water pump has to be done every second timing belt change. So can you please let me know how much it would cost to check on all of this?Â
Super impressed with Luke's work. Honest and detailed pre purchase inspection on a 08 Forester. Gave me his personal opinion along with professional info. Thanks so much!

Hi, Looking at buying an older 2002 100 series 1hdfte Landcruiser with 400k km on it. Before taking the plunge would require a very thorough mechanically inspection to see whether it’s going to be a reliable car that has been well looked after or if it one to avoid. Appreciate any help! Thank you Can supply photos and information.
James was an absolute legend who knows his stuff. Helped me with a pre-purchase inspection and saved me from a world of hurt. Would 100% recommend and probably wouldn’t buy a used car without him. Cheers!
