Beware Of Cheap Multi-Point or Conditional Reports

These Reports Don’t Give You The Full Picture

Without wanting to scare you, the best way to make sure you buy a reliable used car is by getting a holistic picture of the car.

Some multi-point or conditional reports only cover a few components and are not done by qualified mechanics.

Here are some important checks that our vehicle technical inspection includes that is not covered by multi-point checks:

Major rebuilds and structural issues caused by accident damage. This include chassis damage.

Body panels that have been refitted and resprayed due to accident damage.

The overall condition of the engine after all checks and a test drive are performed.

This to test the various 4×4 options on certain vehicles. This includes low-range, diff-lock modes.

Alternator, all the major belts, harness and routing is checked.

In automatic gearboxes our mechanics check the auto-shifting-pattens to identify if the auto-gearbox is shifting through all the gears as it should. In manual gearboxes the mechanic check the manual synchro operation and for noise.

This is only a few examples of how a multi-point or conditional report differs from a technical car inspection report.

Multi-point reports only cover 25-35 components where our technical inspection includes 150 component checks.

The cherry on top is that all our inspections are conducted only by qualified mechanics!
