BVI, Shellharbour (2026)

02/06/2026

Buying a vehicle from a distance can be stressful….

👇

Especially when it has over 160,000km on the clock !!
That’s why our client, based in Central NSW recently engaged us to carry out a comprehensive pre purchase inspection before making the long trip to collect this 2017 Honda CR-V.

Our client had a few concerns regarding the vehicle’s overall condition due to its age and kilometres travelled. After conducting our detailed inspection, we found only minor cosmetic imperfections to some of the body panels and noted that all four tyres were coming up for replacement. Aside from these items, the vehicle presented in very good condition and was a strong example for its age and kilometres.

With a detailed BVI report, extensive photos, and independent advice, our client was able to make an informed decision with confidence. We’re pleased to say they proceeded with the purchase and advised that the vehicle was exactly as described in our report and exactly what they were looking for.

Whether you’re buying locally or interstate, our comprehensive inspections provide the confidence and peace of mind needed before committing to your next vehicle 🤝

2023 Ford Raptor Pre Purchase 🔍

This 2023 Ford Raptor was recently inspected for our client based in South Australia who was looking to purchase the vehicle sight unseen from South Coast BMW in Wollongong. Before committing to the purchase, our client wanted a comprehensive independent inspection completed to verify the condition of the vehicle and ensure it matched the dealers description.

During our inspection we found only minor items, including a minor paint blemish on the bonnet near the L/H air vent, slight outer edge wear on both front tyres and the roller shutter tracks requiring adjustment/attention. Other than these findings, the vehicle presented in great condition overall both cosmetically and mechanically and passed our in-depth inspection ✅

Another successful interstate inspection completed, giving our client the confidence to move forward with the purchase 🤝

Can you spot anything on this 2018 Audi RS4❔

We recently carried out our comprehensive pre purchase inspection on this 2018 Audi RS4 for a local client who wanted the vehicle professionally assessed before committing to the purchase.

On presentation, this RS4 looked like a clean example. Equipped with BC Gold coilovers and Vossen forged wheels, it certainly had the right appearance and stance. However, as with every inspection we perform, we looked far beyond the cosmetics.

During testing with our digital paint thickness gauge, we identified inconsistent paint readings throughout the R/H/F area of the vehicle including the bonnet, R/H front guard, driver’s door and R/H A pillar. Further inspection revealed signs of previous repair work, replacement components that did not align correctly and paint imperfections that suggested the repairs had not been completed to manufactures standard.

Following these findings, we conducted a PPSR check which confirmed the vehicle had previously been listed as a repairable write off in Victoria before later being cleared in QLD and then returning to NSW.

This is a perfect example of why a vehicle should never be judged purely on appearance. Hidden repair history can easily go unnoticed without the correct equipment, experience and attention to detail.

At BVI, we provide our clients with the confidence and transparency they need before making a purchase 🤝

2013 Subaru WRX RS40 Pre Purchase Inspection 🏁

We recently carried out a comprehensive pre purchase inspection on this 2013 Subaru WRX RS40 build number 49/300 for a local client after this rare example caught their eye sitting on the front lot of a dealership.

After spotting the vehicle by chance, our client was keen to move forward with the purchase but wanted peace of mind knowing the vehicle was mechanically and structurally sound before committing.

Upon inspection, this WRX presented in great overall condition for its age. Only minor paint imperfections and general wear items were identified, with no major concerns detected throughout the inspection process. Considering this vehicle is now 13 years old, it was a very tidy and well presented example.

Most importantly, our clients were stoked with the results and confidently proceeded with the purchase knowing exactly what they were buying.

Whether it’s a rare performance car or your next daily driver, a professional pre purchase inspection can make all the difference before signing on the dotted line 🤝

❌Simple checks that can avoid a disaster ❌

Have a look at what we found during one of our recent inspections on this 76 series Toyota Landcruiser.

Little things like this just show why obtaining a comprehensive pre purchase inspection report is very important when purchasing any type of vehicle no matter what make or model it is.

BVI inspects every fine detail to ensure you know exactly the true condition of the vehicle your potentially buying 🤝

2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Inspection 🔍

Our client from the Northern Beaches reached out after finding this Ranger on Marketplace and wanted to be 100% sure it was worth pursuing before making the trip and commitment.

We carried out our comprehensive pre purchase inspection and this one didn’t disappoint.

For a vehicle that’s often used as a workhorse, this ute was a standout example:
✔️ Excellent overall condition
✔️ Consistent service history
✔️ Clean interior & exterior presentation
✔️ Well presented underbody

It’s not every day we come across a Ranger this well looked after.

After a thorough assessment, this vehicle received our approval to proceed, giving our client the confidence to proceed with the purchase ✅

Thinking of buying? Don’t just rely on photos alone, make sure you know exactly what you’re buying 🤝

2013 Suzuki Swift Pre Purchase Inspection with hidden issues identified ‼️

Our client had already viewed this vehicle but wanted the reassurance of a professional, comprehensive inspection before making a decision.

Through our comprehensive process including structural checks, paint assessment and mechanical tests, we identified signs consistent with a previous front end repair. These are the types of issues that often go unnoticed without the right experience and equipment.

With the client on site, we walked them through every finding that was detected throughout the inspection, ensuring full transparency and giving them a clear understanding of the vehicle’s true condition.

At BVI, we don’t just inspect vehicles, we help educate our clients so they can make confident, informed decisions.

Because buying a car should be done with confidence, not uncertainty 🤝

❌Failed roadworthy check ❌

What looks like to be a small wearing item is actually a roadworthy fail in NSW, a brake pedal rubber is not allowed to show any type of metal surface and if it does, guess what it’s a fail. Wouldn’t think such a small item like this would lead to an inspection fail right?

A recent inspection performed at an auction house for our client who was buying this vehicle unregistered was hoping to buy this vehicle with no issues to be found so it could pass a road check. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Several safety concerns were discovered during our pre purchase inspection which
deemed the vehicle to be unroadworthy and would 💯 fail a roadworthy inspection.

Clarity before commitment 🤝

2022 Toyota Troopy Tourer Inspection 🔍

This Troopy wasn’t your standard inspection.

Our client based in VIC had seen this vehicle online and he knew this was the one he had been waiting for however with a full touring fit out and a GVM upgrade, it was critical to ensure every modification was not only fitted correctly, but also engineered and legally compliant with the supporting certificates.

With a build like this, it’s not just about the mechanicals. It’s about every upgrade, every modification and every piece of documentation to support ensuring it’s all been completed to a high standard.

Extensively modified vehicles take time and that’s exactly where we stand out. We take the time to go over everything thoroughly, so our clients know exactly what they’re buying.

With only minor findings discovered, this was a very well executed build.

A tourer that has been built correctly & ready to take on Aus 🇦🇺

Built right ✅ Checked right ✅

‼️ Not want you want to see after purchasing your new 2024 model car from a dealership ‼️

This 2024 Suzuki Jimmy is the perfect example of why investing in an inspection with BVI pays for itself.

Our client purchased this vehicle site unseen from a well known Southern Sydney dealership, trusting everything disclosed at the time of sale.

After delivery was where the concerns were raised ❌

That’s where BVI stepped in & identified the following:

Our inspection uncovered:
• Transmission issue when selecting reverse.
• Houling noise on the L/H/F wheel at 50km/h.
• Cracked rear boot aperture seal.
• Fluid seepage on the power steering box.
• Key getting stuck in ignition and unable to turn.
• Leaking boot door gas strut.

Issues you simply shouldn’t be seeing on a 2024 vehicle with 38,000km.

Because of our report, the client now has:
✅ Proof of faults identified.
✅ Leverage with the dealer.
✅ Repairs being organised at no cost.
✅ Support from a trusted independent inspection report.

An inspection isn’t just a check, it’s protection.
Protection against hidden issues, unexpected costs, and being left on your own after the sale.

Don’t take the risk.
Purchase a car with confidence 🤝
