Don’t Buy a Used Ford Without a Professional Inspection
Whether you’re looking at a Ford Ranger, Mustang, Focus or Everest, buying second-hand always carries risk — even with brands known for toughness and performance.
A Ford pre purchase inspection from RedBook Inspect gives you an independent view of the vehicle's condition before you buy. Our qualified mechanics assess the vehicle where it’s located and deliver a detailed digital report within 24 hours of the inspection.
This means less guesswork, fewer unknowns, and more confidence — especially when dealing with private sellers or older models.
What Does a Used Ford Car Inspection Include?
We inspect hundreds of Ford vehicles each month — from family SUVs and 4WDs to high-performance models and tradie utes. Our reports provide a clear summary of the car’s condition, supported by photos, star ratings and (depending on the package) videos.
Core inspection checks:
- Engine bay – visual condition, fluid leaks, fault code scan (where compatible)
- Interior & exterior – panels, trim, locks, glass, seats, windows, and more
- Tyres & wheels – tread wear, damage and condition of rims
- Paint & panel – visual inspection + paint depth test for signs of accident repairs
- Safety & performance – short road test where possible, covering key systems
- Vehicle verification – VIN, odometer, registration and build compliance check
- Optional add-ons – video walkthroughs, inspector phone call, history check
Every report is tailored to the package you select — from quick safety checks to full-featured inspections with video and voice support.

How Long Does a Ford Inspection Take?
Once your booking is made, our team contacts the seller to arrange access. Most inspections are completed within 2–3 business days, and the final report is sent to you within 24 hours of the inspection being completed.
Inspections usually take between 60 to 90 minutes on site.
