Pre-Purchase Inspections

Know more about a vehicle before you commit. A mechanical assessment combined with diagnostic checks, identifying visible faults, wear and areas needing attention — clear, independent information for a more informed decision.

When it helps

You might need this if

  • You are about to buy a used vehicle
  • The seller has cleared the fault codes
  • The mileage or history does not add up
  • You want an independent opinion before committing
Scope

What we check

  • Every module scanned for current and historic faults
  • Software and mileage data across modules for consistency
  • Underbody, suspension, brakes and fluid leaks
  • Road test with live data recording
Process

How it runs

  1. Agree access with the seller
  2. Inspect and scan at our Waikanae workshop
  3. Report the findings, with photos
  4. Talk you through what matters and what does not

Questions

Is this the same as a WOF?

No. A WOF checks minimum safety standards on the day. A pre-purchase inspection looks at condition, history and what is likely to cost you money later.
