An electric vehicle (EV) pre-purchase inspection is a professional assessment of an EV’s condition, carried out by qualified inspectors before you commit to buying.

Getting an EV inspected by a trusted third party is a smart step for all buyers, whether you're new to electric vehicles or a seasoned EV driver. RedBook Inspect has inspected thousands of vehicles across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and major regional centres.

The Aviloo Battery Test is an independent diagnostic test that measures the health of an electric vehicle’s high-voltage battery. It provides a clear, data-driven report on the battery’s State of Health (SoH), helping you understand how much usable capacity remains and whether the battery is performing as expected.
RedBook Inspect uses the Aviloo Flash Test - a fast and non-invasive version of the test designed specifically for pre-purchase inspections. It plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic port and collects real-time data on battery condition, charge levels, and performance. The result is a certified battery health report you can trust when buying or selling a used EV.
This high-voltage battery test is available as an optional add-on with our mobile EV pre purchase inspections across major cities and regional areas in Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.
The most reliable way to check an electric vehicle’s (EV) battery health is through a professional battery diagnostic test. While some EVs show basic battery data on the dashboard, it doesn't provide a complete picture of the battery's true condition or how much it has degraded over time.

The battery is the most critical and expensive component of an electric vehicle. It directly affects driving range, performance, and long-term reliability. Over time, all EV batteries degrade, reducing their capacity to hold charge. A worn or poorly maintained battery can significantly lower an EV’s resale value and may lead to costly repairs or replacements. That’s why checking the battery’s State of Health (SoH) is essential before buying a used EV. A verified battery test, like the Aviloo Battery Test that RBI’s offer to add to their EV pre purchase inspections, gives you a clear understanding of the battery’s condition and helps you buy with confidence.
Yes! Our mobile technicians specialise in electric vehicle battery testing and highly recommend them with every EV pre-purchase inspection. Using advanced tools like the Aviloo battery test, we assess battery health, capacity, performance, and range accuracy. This battery data, combined with an electric vehicle inspection, helps you understand the car’s true value and avoid unexpected repair costs.
