Pre-purchase vehicle inspection · Manchester
We go to the car, wherever the seller is in Greater Manchester, and send you a photo-backed report the same day. Walk away, negotiate, or buy with confidence.
Enter the reg of the car you're looking at. Dealer or private sale, both fine.
Inspection report
What we check
Every inspection follows the same checklist, so nothing gets skipped because the seller is chatty or it's raining. Pick a system to see what's covered.
How it works
You don't need to be there. Most buyers aren't, and that's what the report is for.
Reg, advert link and where the car is. We confirm the price and a time slot.
We contact the seller or dealer directly and book in at their address.
Diagnostics, under the car, around the body, inside, then a road test where it's safe to do so.
Report and photos land the same day, plus a quick call to talk it through if you want one.
The report
Safety or high-cost risk. Fix before driving, or walk away.
Needs doing in the next few months. Your leverage on price.
Checked and fine. Still listed, so you know it was looked at.
Brake discs, tyre dates, leaks, corrosion. You see what we saw.
Stored and pending faults, explained, including ones cleared shortly before sale.
Rough cost for each issue, so you can put a real number to the seller.
A one-line verdict. If we wouldn't buy it, we'll say so.

Cars and small vans. Less than most sellers knock off once they see the report.
Book an inspectionStraight talk
We'd rather you know the limits now than feel misled later. Here's what sits outside the job.
Not a warranty. We report the condition on the day. Parts can still fail afterwards.
No strip-down. We don't remove engine or gearbox components at a seller's address.
Not a history check. Run a finance and write-off check yourself; it takes two minutes online.
Not an MOT. We'll flag anything likely to fail, but we don't issue certificates.
Questions
No. Most buyers aren't. You'll get the full report and photos the same day, and we can call you from the car if something needs a quick decision.
That tells you something. Genuine sellers and decent dealers rarely refuse. If they do, we'll let you know straight away and there's no charge for the visit.
Usually within one to two working days, depending on the seller's availability. Tell us if the car's likely to sell fast and we'll prioritise it where we can.
Yes. We'll arrange a time with the dealer and inspect on their forecourt. Some dealers will let us use a ramp; if not, we inspect as we would at a private address.
Use the report to negotiate. And because we're a mobile mechanic, we can quote to do the work at your home or workplace once it's yours.
