“Highly recommend Ifran as an inspector. I purchased a 2013 BMW X6, I got photos of everything from Ifran including a very detailed video showing all parts of the underside of the vehicle, and once completed, Ifran sent me a very detailed report on the vehicle with all the checks he completed during the inspection. Ifran kept me informed all the way through the process. I absolutely give Ifran a 10/10 as a review as I was so impressed with Ifran and the service he provided, it gave me a massive amount of confidence in the vehicle I was purchasing as I was purchasing the vehicle in England while I’m in Scotland. I honestly can’t fault Ifran and Click Mechanics service, Truly outstanding and worth every penny. If you are looking to purchase a car, definitely get it checked out by Click Mechanic (OUTSTANDING)”

“Alan carried out a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle that we were thinking of buying.

The report we received was very comprehensive and objective. Ultimately, it saved us travelling some distance to look at a car that we would never have bought considering this report. We had been assured that the car was recently serviced and in good condition. The report told us otherwise.

Alan proved to be worth every penny that we paid for his inspection and unbased opinion.
Very thorough.”

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.
