What We Inspect During the Check
Our comprehensive evaluation covers all critical areas to show you the car’s true condition:
- Engine & Gearbox: Checking for oil and coolant leaks, head gasket issues, unusual engine rattles, exhaust smoke, and smooth gear changes.
- Body & Frame Condition: Inspecting panel gaps, paint lines, and underneath the car for signs of past accidents, structural rust, or flood damage.
- Computer Fault Scan: Plugging in our scan tools to check for hidden error codes, dashboard warning lights that may have been cleared, or sensor faults.
- Brakes, Tyres & Suspension: Measuring brake pad and disc wear, checking tyre tread depth, and testing shock absorbers and steering parts.
- Cabin & Electrics: Testing the air conditioning, power windows, dashboard screens, lights, wipers, and seatbelts.
- Underbody & Exhaust: Checking for oil leaks from the gearbox, damaged exhaust pipes, split rubber boots, and worn wheel bearings.
- Complete Road Test: Driving the car on real roads to test acceleration, straight-line braking, steering response, and unusual vibrations.
