Section 24 – Pre-Purchase Inspection Disclaimers

  1. Inspection
    1. This Pre-Purchase Inspection Report (Report) evaluates the visible condition and operation of the vehicle at the time of inspection. Neither National Auto Service PTY LTD nor the inspector assumes responsibility for defects discovered post-inspection.
    2. The Pre-Purchase Inspection covers the vehicle’s engine bay, wheels & tyres, brakes, exterior and interior, underbody, and, if feasible, a road test.
    3. Despite diligent efforts by inspectors, National Auto Service PTY LTD provides no guarantee that this inspection will identify every fault or defect with the vehicle.
    4. The Pre-Purchase Inspection Report does not constitute a certificate of roadworthiness.
    5. In certain instances, vehicles may only be inspected in a workshop due to logistical constraints, including vehicle complexity, size, safety and location requirements.
    6. Some vehicles may be unsuitable for inspection or may only permit limited inspection due to access limitations or specialized requirements. If applicable to your vehicle, we will attempt to notify you before proceeding with the inspection, with details documented in the Pre-Purchase Inspection Report.
    7. The inspection primarily assesses the external condition and operation of your vehicle and its components. Detailed inspections involving part removal and re-installation are not feasible due to time and cost constraints. However, if you require specific parts to be inspected closely, you must schedule a separate inspection for those components.
    8. Inspectors evaluate both the visual condition and operation of components, as well as the general condition of the vehicle at the time of inspection.
    9. A brief road test is conducted to evaluate steering, suspension, brake operation, engine, and driveline performance where allowable. We are unable to conduct the road test at Graysonline due to their internal policies. This does not apply to general population testing outside of Grays sites.
    10. Certain issues may only manifest at higher speeds (including but limited to wheel bearings, brakes, etc.).
    11. National Auto Service PTY LTD disclaims any guarantee, warranty, or representation regarding the nature, reliability, accuracy, or completeness of information in the Report, subject to applicable laws. National Auto Service PTY LTD’s liability, if any, is limited to specified remedies or instances of deliberate breach or fraud.
    12. National Auto Service PTY LTD excludes liability for claims arising from your access and use of this Report, except to the extent prohibited by law.
    13. National Auto Service PTY LTD shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses or damages arising from your use of the Report.

    2. The Pre-Purchase Inspection does not provide exhaustive information about the vehicle.
    3. Hidden defects, intermittent issues, or those not visually apparent during inspection are not reported.
    4. Inspectors may opt not to remove items such as baby seats, seat cover, car mats, steering wheel covers, dashboard coverings, internal or external additions including but not limited to stickers, during inspection.
    5. Full testing of the engine's operating temperature range may not be feasible, potentially missing issues evident only when the engine is cold.
    6. Documents accompanying the vehicle are inspected if available but are not authenticated during the inspection.
    7. The Pre-Purchase Inspection does not verify recall notices issued by the vehicle manufacturer.
    8. Certain vehicles with part-time 4WD systems may not be driven in 4WD during inspection to avoid drivetrain damage.

    4. Inspectors offer their professional opinion on the vehicle's visual and operational condition, aiming to assist you in decision-making.
    5. The Pre-Purchase Inspection Report is not a recommendation to purchase or abstain from purchasing the vehicle. The decision rests solely with you.
