WHAT EXACTLY IS A PRE-PURCHASE CAR INSPECTION?

Brisbane pre purchase car inspections are in-depth assessments of the condition of cars. It produces a report that summarizes every detail accurately. It enunciates every condition that a buyer might want to know about that car. It’s conducted by our experienced mobile mechanics who are also Queensland Transport Accredited Car Examiners and is led by our QCAT Appointed Car Assessor. They are well-informed in most makes and models. The real intent behind the inspection is to uncover any defect, underlying issue, cosmetic or mechanical damage, corrosion, etc. Anything that’s out of the ordinary or doesn’t meet the specs, the pre purchase inspection of car will let you know about these and other problems that might occur later on. This will allow you to make a wise decision about purchasing the car.

WHAT WILL BE CHECKED DURING THE PRE PURCHASE CAR INSPECTION?

There is no fixed industry standard, however, our mobile car inspection Brisbane is the most comprehensive and trustworthy option you can look forward to when you are search for a pre purchase inspection for your car in Brisbane. Below we discuss some of the items we check and why:

  Structural Integrity: The Structural Integrity of the car is arguably the most important part of the Car. If the car has a history of past accidents or Heavy damage, Its structural integrity might be compromised. Aging can also compromise the Integrity of the Structure. An old car can accumulate many cracks and fractures over the years. And it’s best for everyone involved to know about this in advance.

  Fluids: A Car Relies on different kinds of Fluids to Run properly, this includes different kinds of oils that help cool and clean the Engine, operates different components based on pressure, and helps everything run smoothly. Some of the most important fluids in a car are:

    • Engine Oil: Engine Oil helps cool and clean the Engine while running, It takes gunk and garbage away from the Engine and gets filtered through the Oil Filter. Synthetic oils also help with keeping the engine clean for a longer time.
    • Brake Fluid: Brake Fluid is used to power the hydraulics while braking; it should be checked if the Fluid is at proper levels, the amount of moisture content or if any leaks in the system.
    • Coolant: The coolant is used in cars to keep the engine from overheating. As coolant loses its potency over time, this should be checked during an Inspection. It should have the right level of Coolant and its concentration should also be tested.
    • Power Steering Fluid: Power Steering uses a Fluid-based system to keep pressure on your Power Steering System So that it’s easier to steer your car. It should also be checked during the inspection. The technician should make sure that it has the correct level of Fluid and there are no visible leaks.

 Safety Features: This is also a very important part of the Inspection. The condition of the Safety Features on a car is directly related to you and the safety of your loved one. If the Safety Features of the car are faulty or won’t activate correctly then it’s something that you should know before buying the car. Although the safety features of the car differ from model to model, some of the common features such as Airbags, Emergency Breaks, Seatbelts, etc. should be working. This is a very important aspect of the Car and must be inspected with utmost importance.

  Electrical and Electronic Systems: All the Electrical Connections, Electronic Components, Systems and Sub-systems that might be controlled through Electronics should be checked thoroughly.

 The Powertrain: The Mechanism that takes the power to the wheels from the Engine. It includes everything from Transmission, Driveshaft, Axles, and Differential. This is the single most important item about your car. The condition of the powertrain can have a huge impact on the longevity of the car and how long will it keep running without any major complications.

  Suspension and Fuel System: The Suspension and Fuel systems are also very important parts of the car. While the Suspension System is usually very durable, Depending on the use case and history of the car it might accumulate some damage over time and the Fuel system is very easy to damage so it should also be checked for any leaks or damage.

Aside from these technical and mechanical aspects, a Brisbane based professional pre purchase car inspector will also check the car’s history and any related damage. When we do a mobile car Inspection in Brisbane, we will thoroughly check if the car has been in an accident, floods, or written off.
