Dealer trade price tap to see what this means

A dealer buying this car to resell would pay around $12,560, about $3,500 below the retail estimate above. That gap covers reconditioning, transport, statutory warranty and the dealer's margin.

It is not what this car is worth to a private buyer, and it is not a benchmark for a private sale.

Produced by AutoGrab from Australian market data, using the odometer reading recorded at this inspection. It is indicative only and is not a valuation by JPI, nor advice on buying, selling or pricing.

Odometer verification is based on available sources and inspection findings. It is not legal evidence and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for a purchase decision.

Service areas

Pre-purchase car inspection

FAQ

The questions we get
before booking.

How long does a mobile car inspection take? +

60–90 minutes on site for a Complete Vehicle Inspection, covering 200+ points across 9 rated sections plus a test drive. Your written report is emailed to you about 30 minutes after the inspector finishes, and appears on your tracking page at the same time.

What areas of Sydney do you cover? +

We're mobile across the Sydney metropolitan area — Parramatta, Chatswood, Blacktown, Liverpool, Penrith, Sutherland, Ryde, Bankstown, Hurstville, the North Shore and the Eastern Suburbs included. We come to wherever the car is, whether that's a private seller's driveway or a dealer's yard. If you're not sure your suburb is covered, check the service areas page or call us before booking.

Can the seller or dealer be present during the inspection? +

Yes, and usually they are — someone has to give us access to the car. The inspector records what they find independently either way, and the written report goes to you, not to the seller.

What's included in the FREE PPSR check? +

Finance owing, written-off status and stolen status, with the search and certificate numbers printed in the report and the certificate attached as a downloadable document. It does not cover odometer accuracy — that's what the JPI Sentinel™ cross-check is for.

How quickly can I get an inspection booked? +

Same-day slots are often available. Booking online takes under two minutes, and your inspector's name and mobile number appear on your tracking page well before the appointment.

What if the inspection finds serious problems? +

Then you've got what you paid for. The report separates what must be fixed for safety and roadworthiness from what's worth doing, each item costed as a range, and the inspector calls you to talk it through. Whether you renegotiate or walk away is your call — we don't advise on price. Common faults by make and model are written up under Car Problems.

What if you miss a fault? +

If we miss a significant mechanical, safety or structural fault that was present at the inspection, we refund your inspection fee and pay up to $3,000 towards the repair, paid directly to the repairer. The car must be bought within 48 hours of the inspection, the claim raised within 14 days of the report, and the repair must cost more than $1,000, confirmed in writing by a licensed mechanic. Wear items, intermittent faults and anything needing disassembly or a hoist are excluded. Full terms are in clause 8.4 of our Terms and Conditions.
