View a Sample Pre Purchase Car Inspection Report

Below, you can view and download an actual Sample Pre-Purchase Car Inspection Report. This is the exact level of detail we provide for every mobile inspection across Brisbane Southside, Logan, and the Redlands Coast. Whether you’re looking at a 4WD for the weekend or a daily commuter, our reports are designed to give you the leverage you need to negotiate or walk away.

Mechanical Inspection Report Sample

A basic history check or a quick “look over” isn’t enough to spot hidden accident repairs, mechanical faults or computer fault codes. At BPC Auto Inspect, we believe transparency is the only way to buy with confidence.

🔍 We Know What to Look For. We don’t just tick boxes; we look for model-specific “heartbreak” issues common in Australia. Whether it’s severe rust in front support on a Triton or transmission problems on a Colorado, our mechanical and diagnostic reports prioritise the expensive faults that standard mechanics often miss during a quick road test.

Diagnostic Report Included

Cleared Fault Codes: Sellers can easily clear dashboard warning lights before a viewing. We use professional diagnostic tools to find “stored” codes that reveal intermittent engine, transmission, or sensor failures.

Negotiation Power

Turn Our Report into Your Best Bargaining Tool

Most used cars have some level of wear and tear, but knowing exactly what those issues are gives you the upper hand in negotiations. Many of our clients in Logan, Redlands, and Brisbane Southside have saved thousands of dollars by using our reports to:

• Request Repairs: Ask the seller to fix identified safety or mechanical issues before you hand over the cash.
• Price Reduction: Negotiate a lower purchase price based on the estimated cost of upcoming maintenance or necessary repairs identified in the report.
• Walk Away: Occasionally, the “deal of a lifetime” is actually a money pit. Our unbiased opinion helps you avoid a “lemon” before it becomes a financial burden.

Local Mobile Convenience

Expert Mobile Inspections at the Seller’s Door

We take the stress out of the buying process by bringing the workshop to the vehicle. Whether the car is at a private residence in Moorooka, a dealership in Acacia Ridge, or a workplace in Logan, we handle the logistics so you don’t have to.

• No Travel Required: You don’t need to coordinate transport or take time off work to get the car to a mechanic.
• On-the-Spot Feedback: After the inspection, we provide a verbal report that “talks your language,” explaining the technical details in plain English so you can make an immediate decision.
• Same-Day Delivery: You receive your full digital report, diagnostic results, and high-resolution images the same day the inspection is completed.

Fault Codes, Underbody & Paint Checks Included

PPSR Check Included

Beyond the VIN: Why a Physical Inspection is Critical

A car history check is a vital first step, but it only tells you what has been officially recorded by insurance companies or the government. It cannot see what is happening under the bonnet or inside the cabin today.

Invisible Accident Repairs: While a car may have a “clean” title, it may have undergone significant private repairs. We check for evidence of body and paint repairs that may suggest a past accident.

All pre-purchase inspections include a Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) to protect you when buying a car:

A PPSR search includes:

• Financial Encumbrances – Vehicle Finance Check
• Written Off Status (WOVR)
• Stolen Vehicle Status

Over-The-Phone Report Included

After you receive the reports and images, you receive an over-the-phone report with an unbiased opinion about the vehicle in general and what future servicing or repairs are needed. The verbal pre-purchase report “talks your language,” so don’t worry because you will understand!

Reports Same Day

The Pre-Purchase Mechanical Inspection Report, Vehicle History Report, and Images will be sent to your email inbox immediately after the inspection.

Craig was amazing. I must admit, I did pick someone a little cheaper before I considered Craig, but I’m so glad I changed my mind and I got my money’s worth!! The detail in his inspection just shows he goes that extra mile. I highly recommend his services if you want a non-biased straightforward opinion! which helps especially if you spending big bucks on a vehicle!! Thank you Craig You did a fantastic job.. God bless!!
