Buying Privately? Pre-Purchase Engine Inspections

If you are buying an engine privately, our professional pre-purchase inspection service allows you to proceed with confidence.

Our 10-point inspection includes performance assessment, mechanical condition, installation suitability, electrical systems, and operational integrity.

This report can be used to confirm your purchase decision or renegotiate price where condition does not reflect asking value.

To book an inspection, complete the Pre-Purchase Engine Inspection Enquiry Form.
