RedBook Inspect launch mobile pre-purchase inspection

RedBook Inspect's new mobile inspection service will make it easier for customers to make more informed decisions when buying a second-hand motorcycle

Have you ever regretted a motorcycle purchase because you were ill-informed about its true condition? Well, RedBook Inspect has launched a new mobile pre-purchase inspection service that will assist potential buyers in making smart and informed decisions.

The inspections involve an inspector travelling to the seller’s location, completing an inspection, and providing a star rating report based on the condition of the motorcycle.

“Motorcyclists are generally very switched on with their 2-wheeled machinery,” said RedBook Inspect’s Peter Navin. “When it’s time to make a purchase, they like to know all the ins and outs of the machine they are looking to buy. They research their purchase to make sure they are comfortable prior to handing over their hard-earned money.”

RedBook Inspect CEO Barry Freeman is pleased to be offering the new service. “We are very proud to be extending our services to bikes,” he said. “We want to grow our service offering into a range of new verticals.”

The new RedBook Inspect pre-purchase service will make it easier for potential buyers to get a professional and impartial opinion on the mechanical and cosmetic condition of a motorcycle.

While the inspection is a visual-based service, the highly skilled inspectors can highlight various issues and concerns including any aftermarket or non-genuine components that may be fitted.

The RedBook Inspect pre-purchase inspection includes the following:

  • Body & control – lights and electrics, body and paint condition, accident repairs, exhaust system, handlebars and controls, instruments, chrome and alloy condition
  • Chassis – frame and swing arm condition, rust and corrosion, suspension, brakes, tyre condition, final drive, wheel bearings, steering and forks
  • Engine and gearbox – fluid leaks, noise, hoses and piping, fuel system, battery, engine cooling system, clutch and gear selection, service history
  • Tyres, wheels and brakes – visual inspection of tyres, rims, front and rear brakes
  • Stationary test – engine starting/ idle, steering and suspension operation, engine smoke/ emissions, service history
  • Comprehensive report – detailed digital report including photos, written off history, stolen records and more

RedBook Inspect’s pre-purchase inspection service is easy to book and gives you peace of mind. You’ll receive the detailed digital report instantly after the inspection is processed. The report helps you make a smarter, more informed purchase.

The inspections are carried out by trusted mobile inspectors across Australia, who will be able to single out issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye.
