A secondhand car inspection can help you understand the condition of a used vehicle before you buy it. CMM Automotive inspected a Nissan in Joondalup for a potential buyer.
A used Nissan may look tidy and seem fine during a short test drive. However, mechanical problems and upcoming maintenance costs aren’t always easy to spot.
What Does a Secondhand Car Inspection Check?
During a secondhand car inspection, we check the vehicle’s major mechanical components. We start by inspecting the engine bay for visible oil and coolant leaks.
We also check the battery and general cooling system condition. These checks can identify maintenance concerns that a buyer should know about.
Our inspection covers the tyres, brakes, steering and suspension. Worn components in these areas can add significant costs after buying a vehicle.
We also inspect the interior and exterior condition. This includes checking for damaged components and other visible concerns.
Why Do We Road Test the Vehicle?
Where conditions allow, we take the vehicle for a road test.
Some problems only become noticeable once the car starts moving. We listen for unusual noises from the engine, suspension, wheel bearings and driveline.
We also check the steering, braking and general driving condition.
A road test works alongside the physical inspection. Together, they provide a better understanding of the vehicle’s overall condition.
