Pre-Inspection & Documentation

If unsure about fluid condition, request a short maintenance check or let dealer perform a pre-delivery inspection in writing.
Interior & Comfort
Safety & Electrical
Test Drive Checklist
Take a route with varied conditions (city, highway, tight turns) for a thorough test drive. Bring a friend to check visibility and rear-seat comfort.
Delivery & Final Items
Notes & Follow-ups
Use this area to record any defects to be fixed before you drive away, follow-up items, or agreed concessions.
Final thoughts
Use this checklist as a systematic guide to reduce surprises and ensure the vehicle you receive is in the condition promised. A careful walk-around, an underhood check, and a thorough test drive will uncover most issues. If you find problems, insist they be fixed in writing before taking delivery or negotiate appropriate remedies. Keep copies of all documentation and request a visible record of any dealer-performed pre-delivery inspections and repairs.
FAQs
How long should the test drive be?
A meaningful test drive should be at least 20–30 minutes and include city streets and a short stretch at higher speed if possible. That exposes the car to varied loads and road conditions.
What if I find damage after taking delivery?
Contact the dealer immediately. If the damage existed prior to transfer of ownership, request repairs or return rights per your contract and local consumer laws. Document damage with photos and written descriptions.
Can I refuse delivery if something isn’t right?
Yes — if the vehicle condition materially differs from what you agreed to, you can refuse to accept delivery until the issue is resolved. Ask the dealer to confirm fixes in writing.
Do I need a mechanic present?
For new cars this is usually unnecessary. For used or low-mileage demo vehicles, consider hiring an independent mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection if you have concerns.
What documents should I keep?
Keep the sales invoice, warranty documents, service records, and any pre-delivery inspection reports. These are vital for warranty claims and resale.
