What Is a 40 Point Vehicle Inspection?

A 40 point vehicle inspection is a detailed visual and functional check of your vehicle’s essential systems and safety components.

  • Exhaust, steering, and suspension inspection
  • Cooling system leak test
  • Lighting and electrical test
  • Air filter and belt condition review
  • Free tyre condition report

Each item is checked, recorded, and explained, so you know what’s in good condition and what may need attention soon.
