About this service

A pre-purchase inspection helps you understand the accessible mechanical condition of a used vehicle before buying it. It can identify wear, visible leaks or concerns that are difficult to judge from a listing or a brief viewing.

Coordinate the visit with the seller and share any questions, history reports or known faults. NOFO explains the observed findings and the limits of the inspection. It cannot predict every future failure, verify all hidden damage or replace title and vehicle-history checks.

What should I arrange with the seller?

Confirm that the seller allows the vehicle to be inspected and can make it available at the agreed time. Send its year, make, model and any particular concerns so the shop can confirm the visit’s scope.
