What Is a Pre Purchase Inspection?
A pre-purchase vehicle inspection is a detailed check of a car’s mechanical, electrical, and structural condition. It’s performed by a certified technician before you finalize the purchase of a used car.
To check whether the vehicle you’re considering is registered, you can use the VicRoads Registration Status Tool. It’s a free and trusted source provided by the Victorian Government.
This inspection is especially useful if:
- You’re buying a used car from a private seller
- You’re purchasing interstate or online
- You’re not confident checking a vehicle yourself
- You need a report for insurance or financing
