Carrying out a pre purchase vehicle inspection is how to avoid buying a bad used car

Buying privately in Perth is common—but it comes with risks.

Red Flags to Watch For:

• Freshly cleaned engine bay (can hide leaks)
• Uneven panel gaps (possible accident damage)
• Warning lights recently cleared
• Strange noises on cold start

Pro Tip

Always start the vehicle inspection on the car when the engine is cold—this is when many issues show up.

Best Protection

A professional inspection ensures nothing is missed.
