Buying a second-hand vehicle
Buying a second-hand vehicle can be a daunting project. You’ll be spending a large amount of money on something that’s been used by other people, and if you’re like the majority of used car buyers you’re not an expert when it comes to cars.
This means placing a large amount of trust in the motor dealer or private seller – and hoping that what you’re buying is the genuine article.

Our 140-point Check List
Norfolk Auto Services can give you peace of mind and save you from potential disaster, by carrying out a full pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle you’re looking to buy.
Our 140-point mechanical and structural pre-purchase inspection covers all areas of the vehicle, inside and out.
- We’ll do a diagnostic check to find any engine faults.
- We’ll look at the engine compartment, the suspension, brakes, bodywork and tyres.
- We’ll check inside the vehicle, checking for warning lights, seatbelts, the condition of the seats and the glass, and much more.
Peace Of Mind
A pre-purchase inspection lets you discover whether:
- The vehicle is safe and roadworthy
- There are any untoward issues to be wary of
- The vehicle has been involved in an accident
- The vehicle is worth the price the seller is asking
And of course, we’ll tell you whether or not the vehicle is one we’d be happy to buy ourselves!
Pre-Purchase Inspection
A Norfolk Auto Services pre-purchase inspection makes sense. It can save you a small fortune in future repair bills – it lets you give the seller the chance to fix any issues with the vehicle – it allows you to negotiate a substantial discount if you’re still keen to buy the vehicle.
