“Andy called me immediately after the inspection and went through all the points inspected and his findings. He also had taken extra care over the areas where I had asked for detail inspection. The report was very comprehensive. More importantly, there were 50+ photos and where there were minor issues, these were covered with photos and detailed descriptions to pass on to the dealer. He had already pointed these out to the dealer while onsite so they knoew what was expected to be remedied. All around very happy with the service provided. Great piece of mind for what is an expensive purcahse.”

“Brendon assessed a car at the garage prior to us deciding if to purchase.
On this occasion we did not get an update before I started chasing for feedback after the assessment/diagnostics took place.
It was getting late in the day so I started making contact. Unfortunately he had a puncture which delayed….
Feedback was overall positive on the car although I did not feel it was detailed verbally.
I wasn’t confident of his knowledge on part of the diagnostics that took place.
He told me he had to look up what it meant.
The email, with a full report, took some time to arrive, I received it later that evening.
The mechanic was not aware the car was an N Cat. ( I believe it would have been beneficial to be aware prior to assessment).
We found the mechanic apologetic and polite.
Our previous experience was outstanding so I guess he had a lot to stand up to.”

Frequently asked questions about BMW pre-purchase inspections

Read our answers to questions about pre-purchase inspection costs, symptoms and more.

I plan to buy a used BMW - do I need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection done by an experienced mechanic on the BMW you are considering buying spares you the headache and saves the time of checking the vehicle over yourself. The mechanics on our network know what signs to lookout for, potentially helping you avoid future large repair bills.

We have a comprehensive checklist that the mechanic goes through, and they will provide you with a detailed email report and a follow-up call describing the state of the vehicle (if applicable).

Customers value the pre-purchase inspection report they receive from their mechanics. The report will help you make a decision and possibly assist with negotiating price.

A Premium pre-purchase inspection is one of the most popular choices amongst ClickMechanic customers when it comes to checking a used BMW car before the sale. We currently have 100s of mechanics doing pre-purchase inspections across the ClickMechanic network.

What happens during a pre-purchase inspection on BMW?

If you book a pre-purchase inspection with ClickMechanic, a vetted mechanic who carries out inspections on BMW will inspect the car you intend to purchase. Depending on the level of inspection booked (basic, standard or premium), the mechanic will spend up to 3 hours assessing the condition of the vehicle.

When inspecting a used BMW, mechanics check the interior, lights, fluid levels, brakes and suspension, chassis and car underside (subject to service level booked). All our inspection checklists include a road test to examine the condition of important safety features such as the steering and braking, and give a clear idea whether the vehicle is roadworthy.

I have booked a used BMW inspection - do I have to be present?

No, there is no need for you to be present during the inspection. Our pre-purchase inspection service is popular with customers wanting to have a professional assessment of a used car they are purchasing e.g. while they are abroad.

You will receive a report about the condition of the car after the inspection is complete and if you wish you will be able to discuss with the mechanic over the phone afterwards (depending on level of service booked).

Does the BMW pre-purchase inspection come with a warranty?

Our pre-purchase inspections of used BMW vehicles do not come with a warranty. The main purpose of inspecting a used BMW before the sale is to give you an honest and true reflection of the state of the vehicle at the time of inspection.

Can I book a follow up appointment for my BMW?

Following your used BMW car inspection, if you decided to purchase the BMW we recommend having it serviced by one of the mechanics on our network. That way you can ensure you are off to a good start and your car is ready for your future journeys together.

If there is any issues that needs fixing speak to the mechanic who will do the inspection to get a quote and book a follow up through ClickMechanic.
