Buyer focus in Mulgrave
Flag these points when you send the listing so the inspector knows what already concerns you before arriving.
Suspension noise
Listen for knocks or movement over uneven roads and compare them with visible suspension, bush and tyre-wear clues.
Electronic fault history
Scan accessible modules and compare warning lights, stored faults and live observations with how the vehicle behaves during the inspection.
Logbook and maintenance gaps
Compare service dates, kilometres, invoices and logbook entries for gaps or inconsistencies that may change the risk of the purchase.
Tyre and brake condition
Check tyre age and wear patterns together with accessible brake condition so immediate replacement costs are easier to identify.
