Suspension & Steering

Assessment of shocks, struts, bushings, and tie rods to identify costly wear or collision damage that affects handling and safety.

Brakes & Tyres

Measurement of brake pad and rotor thickness, tyre tread depth, and assessment of tyre wear patterns (a sign of alignment issues).

Body & Structure

Detailed examination for evidence of past collisions, poor body repairs, mismatched paintwork, and structural integrity issues.

Electrical System

Testing of the battery, alternator, lights, and operation of all electronic accessories (windows, A/C, stereo).

Road Test

A crucial on-road test to evaluate engine performance under load, transmission shifting quality, and overall vehicle handling.
