Pre-Purchase Inspection Keysborough — Ex-Fleet & Ex-Lease

Looking for an RACV-accredited workshop in Keysborough?

Worth understanding first: RACV itself never performs the inspection. It accredits workshops against its standards and lists the ones that meet them as RACV-Accredited Auto Care Centres, and the workshop you choose does the actual work. We carry that accreditation, and every Keysborough job is handled by our own technicians.

That means our price sits on the page — $460 incl. GST mobile, $395 at Cranbourne West — rather than something you have to phone and ask about, and you book a slot online. It also means we come to Keysborough, so a car you don’t yet own doesn’t need to move. RACV members should check with RACV directly on what benefits apply — that’s between you and them.

Ex-fleet and ex-lease cars

A lot of what sells around Keysborough came out of a company fleet or off a novated lease. These are among the better used buys and among the most misjudged — people see high kilometres and a business history and assume the worst.

Usually the opposite is true: fleet cars get serviced on schedule because a policy says so, and they do steady highway distance rather than short cold trips. What they do get is interior wear, inconsistent tyre replacement, and deferred non-safety maintenance in the last months before handback. That is exactly what we look for, alongside the standard mechanical inspection. Keysborough is roughly 20 minutes from us.

Is an ex-fleet car a bad buy?

Often it is a better one. Scheduled servicing and highway kilometres beat a neglected low-kilometre car. The risk is what was deferred in the final months, which is what we check.

Will the service history be complete?

Fleet cars usually have one, and we check it against the car’s actual condition rather than taking the record at face value.
