PRE-PURCHASE
INSPECTION.

Professional used-car inspection to help you understand the condition of a vehicle before you commit to buying it.

INSPECT BEFORE
YOU COMMIT.

A used vehicle can look excellent on the outside while still having mechanical wear, leaks, warning signs or maintenance items that may require attention.

A pre-purchase inspection can help identify visible or detectable concerns before you decide whether to buy the vehicle.

Meshkov Motors provides independent vehicle inspections from our Richmond workshop.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU BUY

01 FLUID LEAKS

Oil, coolant or other fluid leaks may indicate maintenance or repair work is required.

02 WARNING LIGHTS

Check Engine Light or other warning messages may require further diagnosis.

03 ABNORMAL NOISES

Engine, suspension, steering or drivetrain noises may point to developing problems.

04 UNEVEN TYRE WEAR

Uneven wear can be associated with alignment, suspension or steering issues.

05 POOR MAINTENANCE HISTORY

Missing or unclear service history can make future maintenance requirements harder to assess.

06 PREVIOUS REPAIR CONCERNS

Signs of previous mechanical work may justify closer inspection of the affected area.

AN INSPECTION HELPS.
IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE.

A pre-purchase inspection can identify many visible, audible or detectable concerns, but it cannot guarantee that a used vehicle has no hidden or future faults.

Some internal, intermittent or developing problems may not be apparent at the time of inspection.

The purpose is to give you more information about the vehicle’s condition before making your purchase decision.
