Contact us to discuss the scope for the vehicle you are considering. An inspection reflects the condition and access available at the time; it cannot guarantee that every existing or future fault will be detected.

How to arrange your inspection

  1. Send the vehicle’s make, model, year, kilometres and location. Tell us any concerns you have noticed.
  2. Discuss the scope, price and availability with our team before making arrangements with the seller.
  3. Arrange access with the seller and confirm the booking with us. An online request needs confirmation from our team.

Have any service history or information supplied by the seller ready for discussion. Ask our team about the findings and any further assessment that may be appropriate before making your purchase decision.
