Most reputable dealerships include a pre-owned car inspection checklist before any vehicle is included with the pre-owned inventory. This is a scrupulous, multi-point check of all vehicle systems, both minor and major. An inspection includes many minute items that usually differ from one car lot to the next. This ensures every used vehicle is in great condition. Most components fall into three primary types: service, mechanical, and electrical. Get to know what is required to conduct a checklist for a used vehicle inspection.
From the brakes to 7-speed DSG transmissions, updated mechanical car parts control every aspect of today’s vehicles and it is important that they are working properly to avoid accidents and expensive repair bills. An exhaustive mechanical inspection can cover these components and many others such as the engine, transmissions, drive systems, the battery, the exhaust, and cooling systems (the radiator and hoses). If the car is either a hybrid or an EV, the drive battery should only be serviced and inspected by a trained professional.
More than ever before, today’s vehicles feature electrical systems such as emissions computers, digital gauge clusters, touchscreens, NAV systems, and cameras. So it is imperative that they pass the same meticulous tests as the other components. A meticulous inspection of the electronics includes all emergency, internal, and external lighting, as well as display screens and driving lights. Most important, however, are diagnostics of any onboard computer systems and any systems controlled by electronics, like the ignition, engine performance settings, anti-lock braking systems, safety tech, and mobile phone systems.
A meticulous inspection can highlight any known problems, but it could miss some problems that occurred previously. To fully understand the life of your car we use CarFax and AutoCheck. These services detail the full history of a vehicle and can typically highlight information such as mileage inconsistencies, oil changes, title problems, previous accidents, and warranty service. Knowing the whole account of the car or truck you’re about to buy allows you to make the best possible decision.
