Components are not dismantled to examine internal parts This Vehicle Inspection Report is not a Certificate of Roadworthiness nor does it replace the requirement for a Roadworthy Inspection to be carried out on the vehicle. Some vehicle faults can be diagnosed only by dismantling the engine or are intermittent in operation and not evident from an external examination at time of inspection. Some vehicle faults may be disguised or hidden by the use of additives, modifications or other faults. The inspection of body condition is confined to a visual examination of the exterior of the body. Please remember - the buying choice is yours. THE CODE Immediate - Immediate attention is required. E arly - E arly attention is required within a matter of days. Observation - Observation only for your awareness or consideration.
