Electric Vehicle Pre-Purchase Inspection in Queensland

Buying a used electric vehicle really means buying a used battery. Our mobile EV inspection checks the high-voltage battery, charging system and electric drive alongside a full body, safety and road test, and our Aviloo-certified battery test tells you exactly how healthy the battery is.

We come to the seller, the dealership or your driveway across Brisbane, the Gold Coast & the Sunshine Coast.

Why It's Different

An EV Needs a Different Kind of Inspection

Electric vehicles have far fewer moving parts than petrol cars, but the parts they do have are expensive. A general mechanical check can miss what matters most on an EV, and some of what it looks for simply is not there.

Less relevant on an EV

Parts an electric vehicle does not have, or rarely needs attention on:

Critical on an EV

Where the real value is, and where the real repair bills come from:

High-voltage battery health & capacity
Charging hardware, AC & DC fast charging
Battery cooling & thermal management
High-voltage cabling, isolation & safety
Tyre wear from the extra weight & torque
Software, warning lights & stored fault codes

What's Included

Everything We Check on a Used Electric Vehicle

Every EV inspection includes our full pre-purchase inspection plus the electric-specific checks below. Each finding is photographed and explained in plain English.

High-Voltage Battery

The most valuable part of any EV, checked first.

Charging System

Tested on charge, not just checked by eye.

Electric Drive

How the car makes and recovers its power.

High-Voltage Safety

The systems that keep 400 volts where they belong.

Body, Underbody & Structure

Damage underneath can reach the battery.

Tyres, Brakes & Road Test

EVs are heavy and quick. It shows here first.

Battery Health

The Battery Is Most of the Car's Value. We Check It Properly.

An EV battery does not fail overnight. It slowly loses capacity, and how fast depends on its age, how it has been charged and the climate it has lived in. Queensland heat and a history of frequent DC fast charging can both take their toll.

Our EV Battery Health Test uses the certified AVILOO FLASH test. It reads the battery’s own data, analyses it down to individual cells and compares today’s capacity and range with the car’s original figures, then issues an official, QR-verified battery certificate.

If the battery is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, we note it in your report so you know what cover may carry over to you.

Red flags we report on

Battery or charging warning lights
Range well below what the car's age suggests
Stored high-voltage or charging fault codes
Scrapes or damage on the battery case
Signs of flood or water damage
Missing charge cable or non-genuine charging gear
Accident repairs near high-voltage components

Aviloo Certified

What Your Aviloo Battery Certificate Shows

Every EV Battery Health Test ends with an official Aviloo certificate: detailed, independently verified data about the battery, not just a single number.

State of Health (SoH %)

The exact degradation figure, not an estimate.

Remaining capacity

Usable capacity against the original factory figure.

Real-world range

Today's range against the car's original range.

Cell-level analysis

Every cell is checked, so a weak one can't hide.

Charging performance

A full check of the charging system.

QR-verified certificate

An official PDF that anyone can verify.

Negotiate with facts, not guesses

A battery that tests well protects your purchase. One that doesn’t gives you grounds to negotiate, or to walk away. Either way, the certificate is yours to keep and to show the seller.

FAQs

Electric Vehicle Inspection Questions

Common questions about our mobile pre-purchase inspection and Aviloo battery testing for electric vehicles in Queensland.

What does an electric vehicle pre-purchase inspection include?

Everything in our full pre-purchase inspection, plus EV-specific checks: high-voltage battery health, the charging system, the electric motor and regenerative braking, high-voltage cabling and safety, and the underbody and battery case. You get a photo-documented report with a clear Buy / Don’t Buy verdict.

Can you check the health of the battery?

Yes. Our EV Battery Health Test uses the certified AVILOO FLASH test. You receive an official, QR-verified Aviloo certificate showing the battery’s State of Health, remaining capacity against the original factory capacity, current range against the original range, and a cell-level analysis. It is available on its own or as part of the EV Premium Inspection + Battery Test.

What is Aviloo?

AVILOO is an independent European specialist in EV battery diagnostics, regarded as the gold standard for battery health testing. Its certificates are independently verified, so buyers, sellers and dealers can all rely on the result.

Which package should I choose for an electric vehicle?

If the battery is your main concern, choose the EV Battery Health Test. For the complete picture, the EV Premium Inspection + Battery Test combines our full 200+ point inspection with the certified Aviloo battery test. See the packages above for what each one includes.

Do you inspect Teslas, BYDs and other EV brands?

Yes. We inspect popular electric vehicles including Tesla, BYD, MG, Hyundai, Kia, Polestar, Volvo, BMW and more.

Can you inspect the EV at a dealership or the seller's home?

Yes. Our service is mobile. We come to the car wherever it is across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, whether that is a dealership, a private seller’s driveway or your home.

Do you inspect plug-in hybrids?

Yes. A plug-in hybrid has both a petrol engine and a high-voltage battery, so we check both. See our hybrid car inspection page for what that covers.

Is an inspection worth it if the EV is still under warranty?

Usually, yes. Warranties cover faults, not wear, damage or poor repairs, and battery warranties generally only apply once capacity falls below a set level. An inspection shows you the car’s real condition before you commit, and your report notes anything that may be worth raising under warranty.
