Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is a pre-vehicle inspection important?

    A pre-vehicle inspection identifies potential issues before purchase or use, helping you avoid expensive repairs and unsafe driving conditions. It covers mechanical, safety, and structural components, providing a complete overview of the vehicle’s condition.


    For buyers, it ensures the price matches the vehicle’s true state. For owners, it’s a way to catch problems early and maintain safety standards, making it a valuable step in any vehicle decision.

  • What’s included in a typical pre-vehicle inspection?

    A standard inspection checks the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, lights, and other safety features. It also examines the body and chassis for damage or wear, and may include a road test.


    This thorough process provides a detailed picture of the vehicle’s health, so you can make informed decisions and budget for any necessary repairs or maintenance before committing to a purchase or trip.

  • How long can a vehicle inspection take?

    The time required depends on the type and condition of the vehicle, but most inspections take between 60 and 90 minutes. Complex vehicles or those with suspected issues may take longer.


    The goal is to carry out a comprehensive check without rushing, ensuring every mechanical and safety component is properly assessed. This approach helps guarantee accurate reporting and the confidence that nothing important has been overlooked.
