“I recently had Robert perform a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle I was considering, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his service. He communicated clearly throughout the process, explained any issues he found in detail, and gave me the confidence to make an informed decision. Robert was very punctual, arriving exactly on time, and even went the extra mile by offering to help with any follow-up questions or advice before I made the purchase. His professionalism and thoroughness were truly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

Mobile mechanic in Stoke-On-Trent, 5 years of experience

As an independent mechanic always aim for the best, always happy to go the extra mile for all our customers.

“Cristian and his team were fantastic, they’ve kept me from making a really costly mistake. They've done two checks for me in the past two days and their reports are soo thorough and they really took the time to help me weigh up my options. Having seen reddit reviews advising that click mechanic was more thorough and cheaper than AA and RAC, I can understand why. Absolutely worth the money. I would recommend an MOT check on the gov.uk website and click mechanic as a bare minimum if you're buying a car in the upper end of your budget. I'll be keeping your number handy and won't hesitate to recommend you to friends, family and colleagues.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Zak an amazing mechanic who went above and beyond to inspect a car on my behalf. From start to finish, he was professional, incredibly thorough, and clearly passionate about what he does.

He took the time to check every detail of the car’s condition sent pictures and did not rush through anything. What truly stood out to me was his patience afterward — he walked me through everything he found, explained things clearly, and made sure I fully understood before moving forward.

It's rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such genuine care and clear communication. I felt completely at ease knowing he had my best interest at heart. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest and skilled mechanic you can truly trust!
Thank you Zak !”

Frequently asked questions about Ford pre-purchase inspections

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

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

A pre-purchase inspection done by an experienced mechanic on the Ford 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 Ford 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 Ford?

If you book a pre-purchase inspection with ClickMechanic, a vetted mechanic who carries out inspections on Ford 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 Ford, 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 Ford 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 Ford pre-purchase inspection come with a warranty?

Our pre-purchase inspections of used Ford vehicles do not come with a warranty. The main purpose of inspecting a used Ford 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 Ford?

Following your used Ford car inspection, if you decided to purchase the Ford 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.
