A pre-purchase car inspection can give you extra peace of mind when buying your next car. The inspection involves a thorough, independent review of a car's condition, usually including the engine, electrics, suspension, transmission, bodywork and clutch. Some inspections also include an appraisal of the vehicle's history, and most come with a test drive as standard.
Arranging an independent vehicle inspection is particularly helpful if the car you're interested in is old or has previously been written off. Although using a car check service isn't cheap, it could save you money long term if it turns out the vehicle has serious problems that the advertisement didn't mention.
Before you book a car inspection, you should spend time comparing offers and reading the fine print to check the areas you're most interested in are covered. Some inspections also don't cover certain types of vehicles, such as convertibles or 4x4s.
