Question 1

What do inspectors actually check?

Accepted Answer

The inspection covers the vehicle’s visible mechanical condition, including fluids and leaks, suspension, brakes, tires, and the context behind dashboard warning lights or diagnostic fault codes. The inspector also looks for clues of accident damage, flood exposure, corrosion, poor seals, or structural repairs. When the vehicle is electric, charging behavior and available battery signals are considered where the vehicle and site allow it.

Question 2

How long does an inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most inspections take about 60–90 minutes on site, depending on the vehicle and the access available at the seller’s location. The digital report follows shortly after the inspection, once the findings and supporting photos have been reviewed.

Question 3

Where is the service available?

Accepted Answer

Roadworthy Inspections uses a mobile, local model: the inspector meets the vehicle at the seller’s location. Availability depends on the submitted location and the timing you need, so share those details in an inspection request and we will confirm whether the service is a good fit before anything is booked.

Question 4

What are the report’s limitations?

Accepted Answer

The report is a point-in-time inspection, not a warranty, title or vehicle-history report, or guarantee against future faults. It describes what could be observed at the appointment and helps you make a better-informed decision. Pair it with your own test drive and a title check before buying.

Question 5

How are photos shared?

Accepted Answer

Clear on-site evidence photos are included in the buyer-facing digital report. You can review them alongside the findings so you can see the condition being described, revisit details later, and share the report when you need a second opinion.

Question 6

What if I cannot attend the inspection?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to be there in person. Provide the listing, seller location, and timing, then review the digital report and photos remotely. The plain-English findings give you useful questions to take back to the seller and clearer evidence for your buying decision.
