Common things to check when buying in the Eastern Suburbs.
Salt-air corrosion
Look at brake discs, calipers, suspension bolts and the underbody. Surface rust is normal; flaking or bubbling metal is not.
Hidden repair history
Prestige cars are often repaired to a high standard. Uneven panel gaps and paint that doesn't match between panels are the clues.
Electronics and warning lights
Modern European cars store fault codes long after a warning light is cleared. A diagnostic scan shows what the dashboard doesn't.
Tight-street wear
Narrow streets and steep driveways mean kerbed wheels, scraped bumpers and worn steering components. Check all four corners.

It can be. Cars parked near the coast for years often show more corrosion on brakes and underbody parts. The inspection photographs what we find so you can judge it yourself.
Yes. Every inspection covers the same 200+ points, with a paint thickness gauge for repair history, an OBD-II scan for stored fault codes, and every fault priced — which matters most on cars with expensive parts.
Wherever it is parked — the seller's home, a dealership, a workplace or a public car park. Tell us about any access details (security gates, basement height limits) when you book.
