These are actual examples of the types of conditions a pre-purchase inspection can uncover. Identifying a concern does not automatically establish its cause; additional diagnosis may sometimes be required.
This could mean anything. Even if the vehicle is running fine it could still have a serious issue and if kept driving in it's current condition could damage the engine and drivetrain.
You wouldn't see this unless you crawled under the vehicle. If a lift is not available, I will crawl under the vehicle to check for issues like this.
You probably wouldn't hear this as the pipe is broken after the muffler.
While this is not an overly expensive repair, it's a hazard to drive this vehicle in it's current condition. The line could bursts at any time leaving you with minimal braking power.
tires can have plenty of tread and still need to be replaced. If you see this on the tires, it's time to replace them.
My job is to find these issues prior to your purchase.
Don't let your next vehicle become a gallery entry. Have it inspected before you buy.
