What is Pre Purchase Audit
A Pre Purchase Audit checks the condition of the specific vehicle before purchase. The process can include exterior, interior, engine, mechanical areas, tyres, electrical functions, accidental repair indicators, service history, scanning, and road-test observations when included.
What is Included in Pre Purchase Audit
Used Car Exterior Inspection
The body is reviewed for dents, scratches, paint variation, panel gaps, corrosion, damaged trim, glass condition, lights, mirrors, bumpers, doors, bonnet, and boot. Visible signs of repair are documented.
Used Car Interior Inspection
Seats, upholstery, dashboard, controls, infotainment, air conditioning, windows, locks, cameras, sensors, carpets, and other accessible cabin functions are checked.
Used Car Engine and Mechanical Inspection
The engine area and accessible mechanical components are checked for visible leaks, unusual conditions, wear indicators, and other observations. Complex internal problems cannot be confirmed without appropriate workshop diagnosis.
Used Car Tyre Inspection and Accidental Check
Tyres and wheels are checked for tread, uneven wear, sidewall damage, and visible wheel damage. The body inspection also looks for visible indicators that may suggest previous repair or accident-related work.
Car Scanning and Road Test
Diagnostic scanning can provide information about stored fault codes in supported systems. A road test, when included and safe, can record observations related to braking, steering, transmission, suspension, vibration, noise, and general driving behaviour.
Used Car Inspection Checklist
The checklist can include vehicle identification, exterior, interior, tyres, wheels, engine, mechanical areas, electrical functions, accidental repair indicators, service records, diagnostic information, and road-test observations.
How We Work
Vehicle Identification
Vehicle details and odometer information are recorded before the inspection begins.
Physical Inspection
The inspector checks the vehicle area by area and documents visible or functional findings. Items that cannot be checked are marked accordingly.
Scanning and Road Test
Where included, supported diagnostic systems are scanned and a road test is conducted under suitable conditions.
Report Preparation
The findings are compiled into a Vehicle Inspection Report with supporting photographs and observations.

FAQs
Is a Pre Purchase Audit only for used cars?

It is mainly used for pre-owned vehicles, but the same structured condition review can be adapted to other purchase situations.
Can accident repair signs be identified?

Visible repair indicators can be recorded, but hidden structural or historical damage may require additional specialist evidence.
