Pre-Purchase Inspection

Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection is Essential


Buying a caravan or motorhome is a significant investment—and what looks perfect on the surface can hide costly problems underneath. A professional pre-purchase inspection gives you confidence that you know exactly what you’re buying before you commit.

Caravans and motorhomes can suffer from hidden issues such as damp, gas faults, electrical problems, or worn running gear. These faults are often difficult to spot during a viewing and can lead to expensive repairs shortly after purchase.

A pre-purchase inspection provides an independent, expert assessment of the vehicle’s condition, helping you avoid unexpected costs and make an informed decision.
