What does a pre-purchase inspection include?

Our inspection covers a full mechanical, structural, and diagnostic check of the vehicle.
We assess the engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, tyres, fluids, and body condition, as well as run a full diagnostic scan to check for hidden faults.

How long does the inspection take?

Most inspections take around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the vehicle’s condition and complexity.
We take our time to ensure nothing is missed — and you’ll receive a clear report after the inspection.

Do you come to the seller’s location?

Yes! Hayes Mechanic is a fully mobile service.
We travel to the seller’s home, workplace, or dealership anywhere in Hayes, Uxbridge, West Drayton, Hillingdon, and surrounding areas.
(Please note: Southall may incur a small additional charge.)

Can I be present during the inspection?

Absolutely — in fact, we encourage it.
You’re welcome to attend the inspection so we can walk you through our findings in real time and answer any questions.

Do you road-test the vehicle?

Yes, whenever the seller grants permission.
We use our trade plates to safely road-test the vehicle and evaluate the engine performance, gearbox operation, steering, brakes, and suspension under real-world conditions.

What if the seller won’t allow an inspection?

We recommend confirming with the seller before booking that they’re happy for the car to be driven, jacked up, and inspected fully.
If permission is refused, we can still perform a basic visual and diagnostic scan — but we’ll advise you on the limitations before proceeding
