Buyer inspections · Perth

Found a car? Don’t buy the story.

The ad says immaculate. The seller says it has never missed a beat. Lovely. Now let’s look at the car.

No payment is taken on this website. No Lemons passes the enquiry to the mechanic, who confirms availability and arranges payment directly with you.

An inspection is a point-in-time assessment of accessible areas. Neither option guarantees a fault-free vehicle or predicts every future issue.

Who it is for

Anyone who does not speak fluent mechanic.

01

You found one privately

Get an independent view before transferring money or discovering what “just serviced” left out.

02

It is sitting at a dealership

Add a set of eyes that works for you, not for the person trying to sell the car.

03

It is your first used car

Turn a big, unfamiliar purchase into a clearer list of facts and next questions.

04

You are buying from interstate

Get eyes on a Perth vehicle when flying over for a quick look does not make sense.

05

You are helping family

Give a new or nervous buyer something more useful than everyone’s best guess.

What you get

More than a quick lap around the block.

Every used car is different, and access matters. These are the main areas we assess and explain in the report.

01

Body and previous repairs

Visible paint differences, panel fit, rust, damage and repair clues that may not appear in the advertisement.

02

Engine bay

Accessible fluids, leaks, belts, hoses, noises and signs the car may need mechanical attention.

03

Brakes, tyres and wheels

Visible condition and wear patterns that may affect safety or your near-term budget.

04

Interior and controls

Warning lights, cabin condition, seatbelts, controls and accessible electrical functions.

05

Road-test observations

Where access and conditions allow, we note how the vehicle starts, steers, brakes, shifts and behaves on the road.

06

Plain-English report

Clear findings and useful photographs, organised around what deserves your attention before you decide.

Why independent matters

We are not trying to sell you the car.

No Lemons does not earn more if you buy it, finance it or drive it home today. Our job is to inspect what is accessible, record what we observe and give you a clearer basis for your decision.

The honest bit

Good car? Great. Bad car? Better to know now.

An inspection reduces uncertainty; it cannot predict every future fault. Findings reflect the condition and accessible areas on the day—not a lifetime guarantee for a used machine.

Before you buy
