KNOW WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY

Used Car Inspection Checklist

A used car may look good in photos and feel fine during a short test drive, but there’s much more worth checking before you make an offer. Use this checklist to take a closer look—or have our mobile inspector go directly to the vehicle for a comprehensive pre-purchase evaluation.

START WITH YOUR OWN WALKAROUND

Use This Used Car Inspection Checklist Yourself

You don’t need to be a mechanic to notice signs that a used vehicle deserves a closer look. Before you buy, take your time walking around the car and checking its exterior, interior, underhood components, and basic operation.

A personal inspection can help you spot obvious concerns and prepare better questions for the seller. However, some mechanical problems, previous repairs, and structural concerns may require a more experienced eye. If you want to go beyond this basic checklist, our mobile inspectors can travel directly to the vehicle for a more comprehensive evaluation.

KNOW WHAT DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK

Start With What You Can See

A quick walkaround can tell you a lot about a used car—but not everything. Before you buy, check these key areas for visible damage, unusual wear, or anything that deserves further inspection.

Exterior & Body


Inspect the vehicle’s exterior for any visible damage or inconsistencies. Look closely for signs of previous repairs, rust, or misaligned panels that may indicate past issues.

  • Paint and body panels
  • Dents, scratches, and rust
  • Glass and mirrors
  • Doors, hood, and trunk

Tires & Wheels


Evaluate all four tires to ensure even wear and proper condition. Uneven tread or visible damage can signal alignment or suspension concerns.

  • Tread condition
  • Uneven wear
  • Sidewall damage
  • Wheels and rims

Interior & Electronics


Check the cabin for wear and test all essential features. Ensure controls, displays, and comfort systems function properly without faults.

  • Seats and upholstery
  • Dashboard and warning lights
  • Windows and locks
  • A/C and heating
  • Interior electronics

Engine & Fluids


Inspect under the hood for leaks, wear, or maintenance issues. Pay attention to anything that suggests neglect or mechanical concern.

  • Visible leaks
  • Belts and hoses
  • Battery condition
  • Fluid levels
  • Unusual smells or sounds

Test Drive


During a test drive, note performance and watch for any unusual handling or operation.

  • Visible leaks
  • Engine performance
  • Transmission shifting
  • Steering response
  • Braking
  • Suspension noise
  • Warning lights

LOOKS GOOD DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN EVERYTHING IS GOOD

Don’t Guess. Let Us Take a Closer Look.

A DIY checklist can help you spot obvious concerns, but some mechanical issues, previous repairs, leaks, diagnostic findings, and other conditions can be difficult to evaluate on your own.

That’s where we come in.

Our mobile pre-purchase inspector travels directly to the vehicle—whether it’s at a dealership, private seller, or other arranged location—and performs a more comprehensive evaluation.

NO SHOP VISIT. NO NEED TO MOVE THE CAR.

Why Mobile Inspection Makes it Easier?

You’ve already found the car. Now you just need someone qualified to take a closer look.

Instead of asking the dealership or private seller to bring the vehicle to an inspection shop, our mobile inspector travels directly to its location within our service area.

That means you can move from your initial checklist to a professional inspection without unnecessarily complicating the buying process.

  • Vehicle at a dealership? We go there.
  • Buying from a private seller? We go to the arranged location.
  • Car located away from you? Ask us about inspecting it there.
  • Not comfortable evaluating the vehicle yourself? Let us handle the inspection.
