You will be provided with a full report on the vehicle’s general condition and safety components including; Engine, Under body, Brakes, Tyres, Battery and charging system, Lighting and Interior components*. We also perform a free vehicle history check valued at $38.95 which looks for outstanding finance, odometer accuracy, past thefts or write-offs and includes a vehicle valuation. *T&Cs apply.

Note: Pre-purchase vehicle inspection is different from a road-worthy inspection, which involves taking your vehicle to an authorised Department of Transport inspection centre for a road-worthy certificate to either, have a defect notice removed or inspect an unregistered vehicle for registration. RAC does not perform road-worthy inspections.

Why do prices vary between old and new car, 4WD and European car inspections?

Vehicles that require extra attention are priced higher than those that don’t.
Older cars are priced higher as wear and tear requires further inspection.
4WDs require additional checks compared to a sedan, as they have different mechanical components.
European cars often have additional features that require further inspection.
