So, what exactly do you get with a pre-purchase vehicle inspection?
A comprehensive vehicle inspection is conducted by a trained professional who will thoroughly inspect the car from front to back, top to bottom and externally, as well as inspecting the interior.
A report is then generated on the overall condition of the car identifying each item as the following:
∙ Item requires immediate attention
∙ Item requires early attention
∙Observation only
Based on the report, an overall recommendation is offered to assist your decision-making process as to whether purchasing the car is a wise investment. The report will specify the following according to the results of the inspection:
Stop – It is advised not to proceed with the purchase of the vehicle. From the inspection, it appears the cost of repairs could outweigh the cost of the car itself, or the structural integrity of the car is compromised.
Caution – The vehicle would be reliable with repairs undertaken, however, it could be costly.
Go – Inspected items would be covered by routine services and the vehicle is deemed reliable.
This information is invaluable when it comes to ensuring you have a safe and reliable vehicle for you and your family.
