Why a pre‑purchase scan matters

We combine OBD‑II fault reading, live sensor data checks, and a visual inspection to reveal latent issues that may not be obvious during a test drive. Our reports focus on safety, repair cost estimates, and roadworthiness in New Zealand conditions.

  • Check engine light history & current codes
  • Live data review: RPM, fuel trims, temperatures
  • Battery, charging, and emission system checks

Trusted by Auckland buyers

"Clear report, fast turnaround — saved me from a costly purchase. Highly recommended."

We photograph key items during the inspection and attach them to each report so you can review before committing to purchase.

FAQ

We do not clear codes during pre‑purchase scans unless agreed with the buyer — clearing can hide active issues. We document code history instead.

Basic scans usually take 20–30 minutes; comprehensive inspections can take 60–90 minutes depending on vehicle complexity and agreed checks.
