Pre purchase inspections UK Reviews 

This is a brilliant service - highly recommended.

When we were looking for a car for our daughter, there are so many vehicles. Trying to decide which one is good is painful for me - I don't know one end of a car from another! Tips from some dealers were useful but they are only ever pointers...there is so much that can be wrong with a car, and expensively wrong.

When we found a good match, the first thing I did was to get these professionals to take a look. And I was glad that I did...

Their report was really detailed and demonstrated that the dealer's fresh MOT was a white-wash of worthlessness. By contrast, the inspection report showed several really important points, including about-to-fail brake pads and that something was very wrong with the rear brake system, and that the track rod end was broken.

The inspector spent over half an hour talking me through the report and guiding me through what was really important in the next steps. Thank you!

Many thanks, this inspection was a brilliant experience. Great people, great report. Will definitely give you a call when I am next buying a car. Thank you, worth every penny!

Thorough, professional. I've used them twice.

After reading positive reviews online I decided to use pre purchase inspections UK to help me make a decision purchasing my first car through a private sale. They were quick and easy to talk to, i was able to get them booked in quickly and they provided a thorough update over the phone and via a PDF report once the inspection was completed. They helped give me the peace of mind to move forwards with my purchase whilst also highlighting areas I would likely need to focus on early into my ownership. Would definitely recommend.

I booked a PPI on a vehicle from a west London dealership. The inspector arrived at the site to be informed that the vehicle had been sold. The inspector called to explain the situation. I received a refund from Pre purchase inspections Limited despite the circumstances. Thank you for restoring my faith. Well done guys :-)

We arranged a basic vehicle inspection with Pre purchase inspections UK and it could not have gone more smoothly. Got a confirmation text the day before the inspection. When I called with a query the person I spoke with was friendly and helpful. The inspection report was thorough, accompanied by high quality photos, and was e-mailed to us within a couple of hours. Paid £95 plus VAT, which seemed very reasonable to us and was much cheaper than what we would have paid for similar services offered by the RAC, AA, etc. Would happily use again and recommend.

The service was great value for money and inspection was very thorough, Joe even went above and beyond to plug the vehicle into his computer even though I hadn't paid for the additional service. The report again was very thorough with lots of images and notes to give me a really clear indication of the quality of the vehicle. Not being very mechanically-minded, Joe then spent time with me over the phone explaining his findings in a really easy to understand way. Super friendly and knowledgeable - I'd recommend the service to anyone for peace of mind when buying a used vehicle!

I can’t recommend Joe from Pre Purchase Inspection highly enough! He carried out a full inspection on a classic I was considering purchasing, and his expertise, attention to detail, and professionalism were second to none. Furthermore, the vehicle was 4hrs drive from London.

Joe took the time to go over every inch of the vehicle, highlighting both the strengths and potential issues with complete honesty and clarity. His report was thorough, well-documented with photos, and incredibly helpful for making an informed decision and negotiating further with the seller. What really stood out was how approachable and passionate he was—clearly a true enthusiast who knows his stuff inside and out. The inspection and report were completed on same day.

Thanks to Joe, I felt totally confident moving forward with a fair offer on the classic vehicle. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about getting it right and helping you make the best choice, Joe is your guy.

Found this company online when I was looking for someone to do a pre purchase inspection on a cat s vehicle in London after another company had nobody available to do it.
The service I got from Joe from start to finish was excellent. He sent me over a sample report to review, and then I explained on my booking form that the vehicle was a cat s so I really needed a thorough inspection in that area of the car as well as the standard checks.
Joe turned up on time and called me as soon as the inspection was complete to go through his findings with me before sending me over the completed form with a load of photographs.
All in all, Joe’s thorough report saved me from traveling 200 miles to view it myself but with his expert eye he uncovered a dodgy repair job and stopped me shelling out £10k on a car that still needed a few thousand more of repairs doing.
Would definitely use again for any car inspections I needed in London. Top job.

I purchased a car and wanted to get it inspected before taking it from the dealership. The quality of the report i was given was to the greatest detail. I feel more comfortable driving my new vehicle and would recommend to anyone. I have already recommended to family and friends.

Very detailed inspection and great company. Thankyou for your help it’s very appreciated!

Easy to book and schedule, turned up as they were supposed to. I purchased a basic report and I will be honest, I was surprised by how thorough it was. Well laid out analysis and supporting photos, all emailed within 3 hours of the service being carried out. I'd definitely use them again!

Booked an inspection with PPIUK after being badly let down by the AA. An outstanding experience from start to finish - incredibly prompt booking with next day inspection available, very thorough report and the ability to chat through the results with the engineer. The report was unbiased and comprehensive, with detailed photos. No attempt to upsell any further service, no pressure, just a professional and objective assessment of the vehicle. I honestly wouldn't consider using anyone else in relation to future purchases!

Thank you Joe.

You save me some serious headaches. The seller was forced to reduce over £1k of the price following the findings. I decided to still move on given all the corrosion, leaks , etc that i would have never seen.

Best £150 you will spend. Easy booking process on their website.

Exceptional prompt service highlighted major concerns about an expensive vehicle I wanted to buy, and which would definitely have gone un-noticed. They have definitely saved us some thousands of £s in potential repairs. Amazing knowledge of both mechanical and body repair detail. Thank you. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and use again.
