Pre-purchase inspection
Choose from three levels of independent used-car inspection, from an essential Basic Check to our in-depth Enhanced 99-point check.
Inspection levels
Every CarWise inspection is buyer-focused and independent. Select the level that best suits the vehicle, its value and the reassurance you want before committing.
Our Basic Level Check provides a straightforward assessment of the vehicle’s essential components, giving you added confidence before buying a used car.
A CarWise inspector carries out key visual and functional checks to identify obvious defects, warning signs and potential areas of concern. You receive a clear summary of the findings to help you make a more informed decision.
Choose Basic →Our Comprehensive Check provides a more detailed assessment for buyers who want greater confidence before making a purchase.
We examine key mechanical, electrical, safety and cosmetic areas, looking for defects, signs of wear and potential issues that could lead to unexpected costs. Electronic diagnostic checks and clear findings are included.
Choose Comprehensive →Our Enhanced Check is our most in-depth vehicle inspection, featuring a comprehensive 99-point check designed to give you maximum insight before purchasing a used car.
We assess key mechanical, electrical, safety and cosmetic areas, carry out electronic diagnostics and look for signs of wear, damage or potential future expense. You receive a detailed report with clear findings and supporting photos.
Choose Enhanced →Electronic diagnostics
Modern cars can hide faults even when no warning light is showing. We use diagnostic equipment to check the vehicle’s electronic systems and identify stored or active issues.
What we look at
Diagnostics are only one part of the inspection. We also review the physical and mechanical condition so the report reflects the vehicle as a whole.
Visible leaks, fluid condition, hoses, belts and general mechanical condition.
Visible wear, tyre condition and important safety-related observations.
Signs of previous repair, damage, panel condition and general presentation.
Key electrical features, warning indicators and diagnostic-system findings.
Controls, equipment and signs of wear that may affect value or ownership.
A clear explanation of the important findings so you can decide what to do next.
