Older cars need a different standard, not a lower one

Inspecting a 2003 vehicle against the standards of a 2023 one produces a report full of red marks that tell the buyer nothing. Some wear is simply age. The skill is separating what is expected at that mileage from what is a genuine problem.

That is why our report has a category for "normal for current age and mileage" alongside the ones that flag a fault. A buyer looking at an older car needs to know which findings should change the price and which are just the car being its age.

On this kind of purchase

Every inspection also covers the full checklist — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tyres, body and interior — with a diagnostic scan and a road test where the seller permits one.

Worth knowing first

Do you inspect classic cars?

Yes. Vehicles over twenty years old fall under our Specialist inspection at $499, which allows more time and matches you with an inspector experienced with older vehicles.

Will the report tell me what it is worth?

We report condition, not valuation. What we give you is a documented account of what the car is actually like, which is what you need to argue a price.

Can you inspect a vehicle in storage or not registered?

Yes, though we cannot road test something that cannot legally be driven. The report will say clearly what could not be assessed.
