Buying a used vehicle without a professional inspection can save you from unexpected repair costs. CMM Automotive recently completed a Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford on a BMW. Our inspection identified several mechanical and cosmetic faults that could influence a buyer’s decision before purchase.
Interior Inspection
We began the Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford by inspecting the interior. The passenger-side seatbelt presenter did not extend correctly during testing. Our inspection also revealed several small stains on the roof lining. We found scratches on the driver’s door trim that reflected normal wear and use.
Engine Inspection
Next, we inspected the engine bay and its components. We identified a small engine oil leak at the rear of the engine. Although the leak was minor, we recommend repairing it before it develops into a larger problem.
Steering, Brakes and Suspension
We continued by checking the steering, brakes and suspension. Our inspection revealed noticeable lips on both the front and rear brake disc rotors. We also found the front and rear brake pads had reached the end of their service life. These braking components require replacement to maintain safe braking performance.

Body and Exterior Inspection
We completed the Mobile Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection Guildford by inspecting the body and exterior. The windscreen contained several stone chips that may require repair or replacement. We also found the vehicle did not include a spare tyre. Several dents were present across the roof and should be considered when assessing the vehicle’s overall condition.
Road Test
During the road test, we noticed a minor engine misfire while the BMW was under load. We recommend further diagnosis to determine the cause before purchasing the vehicle.
