20+

This pre-purchase vehicle inspection template guides buyers or inspectors through a thorough visual assessment before purchasing a used car. Capture vehicle details (make, model, VIN, plate, odometer), document body and interior condition, review service history, and check key mechanical items such as tyres, brakes, engine, and transmission. Conduct a road test where possible, add computer scan notes, record findings and comments, score the vehicle out of 10, and estimate repair costs. Includes a clear disclaimer that the inspection is visual only and not a roadworthy certificate.
