The key checks that can help you understand a used vehicle before you commit to buying it.

What is a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is a vehicle check arranged before you commit to buying a used car. It can help you identify visible condition issues and questions to raise with the seller. It is one part of your buying decision, alongside the vehicle history, paperwork and any independent checks you choose to make.

Why arrange it before you buy?

Once you have purchased a vehicle, unexpected repairs become your responsibility. An inspection gives you a clearer picture while you can still ask questions or reconsider. CDC Mobile offers pre-purchase inspections on the Gold Coast and provides a report after the check.

What should you tell the mechanic?

Provide the vehicle make, model, year, location and any concerns from the advertisement or test drive. Ask the seller whether an independent mechanic may access the vehicle. Clear access and accurate details help the inspection go smoothly.
