Buying a used vehicle without a professional inspection can help you avoid expensive repairs after purchase. CMM Automotive recently completed a Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford on a Toyota Kluger. Our inspection identified several mechanical, suspension and cosmetic faults that could influence a buyer’s decision.
Interior Inspection
We began the Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford by inspecting the interior. Our inspection revealed minor scratches on the centre console. We also found the left-hand front electric window was not operating during testing. Apart from these faults, the interior presented in reasonable condition for the vehicle’s age.
Engine Inspection
Next, we carried out a detailed inspection of the engine bay and its components. Our battery test showed the auxiliary battery had low capacity and may require replacement soon. We also found wiring that was not secured correctly. The engine air filter was dirty and due for replacement. In addition, the bash tray was bent and not mounted correctly.
Steering, Brakes and Suspension
We continued by inspecting the steering, brakes and suspension. Our inspection identified worn front lower control arm bushes that had started to separate. We also found uneven edge wear on the front tyres, which may indicate a wheel alignment or suspension issue. Minor scratches were present on the rear wheel rims.
Body and Exterior Inspection
We completed the Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford by inspecting the body and exterior. We found the right-hand side step was broken. The front bumper mounting points had sustained damage and require repair. We also identified damage to the right-hand front headlight. The left-hand front weather shield was broken, and the park light mounted in the bullbar was not operating during testing.
Road Test
During the road test, we noticed a vibration at approximately 60 km/h. We recommend inspecting the tyres, wheels and suspension to determine the source of the vibration before purchasing the vehicle.
