Local buyer focus
What can change the deal in Dandenong South
Flag these points when you send the listing so the inspector knows what already concerns you before arriving.
Commercial-use wear
Look for signs of harder use such as load-related suspension wear, underbody damage, mismatched tyres, driveline concerns and maintenance gaps.
Undercarriage and suspension condition
Inspect visible wear, tyre condition, braking components, suspension clues and accessible underbody areas so near-term repair spend is not missed.
Cooling and oil leaks
Check fluid condition, visible residue, fresh cleaning and operating behaviour for evidence that can point to leaks or cooling-system concerns.
PPSR finance and write-off history
Confirm the official PPSR before committing funds and make sure finance, written-off and stolen-status information is understood in context.
