Why a Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection Matters

Test drive can show you how a vehicle feels on the road, but it cannot reveal every mechanical issue. A workshop inspection allows mechanics to check areas that are difficult to assess during a normal drive. At Melbourne Auto Tech, the vehicle is inspected on a workshop hoist.

This allows our mechanics to check the underbody, suspension, brakes, steering and other components that may not be visible during a standard inspection. A professional pre-purchase car inspection gives you more information about the vehicle before you make a purchase. It can also help identify potential repair needs that may affect your ownership costs.

Pre-Purchase Car Inspection for Buyers and Sellers

Our complete vehicle inspection provides a detailed check of the car’s mechanical and overall condition.

For Buyers

Vehicle inspection provides useful information about the car before you commit to the purchase. The report can help you understand potential repair needs and make a more informed decision.

The inspection can identify issues that may not be obvious from the vehicle’s appearance or a short test drive. You can then consider the inspection findings alongside the vehicle’s price, history and condition.

For Sellers

Sellers can also arrange a professional inspection before listing their vehicle. An inspection report provides prospective buyers with documented information about the vehicle’s condition.

This can give buyers greater clarity when considering the vehicle and help you answer questions about its mechanical condition.

What We Check During Your Vehicle Inspection

Regular logbook servicing keeps your vehicle safe and running efficiently. It also ensures your car is maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule. Following these plans prevents minor issues from escalating into costly repairs. It also ensures your vehicle performs consistently over time. Key benefits of a regular logbook service include:

Underbody and Hoist Inspection

The vehicle is raised on a workshop hoist so our mechanics can inspect the underbody, suspension, brakes, steering and exhaust. We look for visible leaks, wear, damage and other issues that may require attention.

Diagnostic Scan and Fault Codes

We use diagnostic equipment to check the vehicle’s electronic systems for stored fault codes. This provides additional information that may not be available during a standard visual inspection or test drive.

Road Test and Handling Check

The vehicle is driven on the road to assess braking, steering, handling and overall performance. This helps us identify issues that may only become noticeable when the vehicle is moving.

PPSR Report and Vehicle History

We check the Personal Property Securities Register for recorded finance, written-off and stolen vehicle information. This provides additional information about the vehicle’s recorded history before you make your decision.

Photos and Digital Report

Relevant findings are photographed during the inspection. You receive a professional digital report that brings together the inspection findings and supporting photos.
