New car delivery inspection

We also provide a ‘Delivery Readiness Certificate’ that you can show the dealer, forcing them to fix every item before you sign. For a new car delivery inspection that eliminates post-delivery regret, choose Car PDI. Experience the best and top rated services for your most important purchase.

Inspection Overview

Our new car delivery inspection starts before the inspector arrives: we research factory TSBs and transport damage common to your model. On-site, we demand the car be untouched – no wash, no accessory fitment, no plastic removal. We then perform a forensic paint exam under 5000K light, measuring thickness on 30+ zones and checking for overspray or buffer marks.

All electronics are tested, including OBD readiness, infotainment response, and ADAS calibration. We verify all software versions against manufacturer latest release. Under the hood, we check fluid levels, belt condition, battery date code, and terminal torque. A final low-speed test (2 km) validates steering straightness, brake pedal feel, and driveline smoothness. The new car delivery inspection report includes a ‘Showroom Rating’ and a ‘Dealer Correction List’.

Inspection Details

Our new car delivery inspection details mirror the standards of factory quality control.

  • Paint & Clear Coat Perfection – Measure thickness (μm), gloss (GU > 90), orange peel (DOI > 85), and check for swirl marks, holograms, or edge chipping.

  • Panel & Trim Alignment – Check all panel gaps (tolerance ±0.5mm), flushness, door drop, and weather seal compression.

  • Software & Module Verification – Confirm all ECU part numbers and calibration IDs match latest TSB. Check for transport mode deactivation.

  • Dealer Prep & Accessory Fitment – Verify correct PDI procedure (suspension blocks removed, tyre pressure set, battery coded). Check accessory fitment quality.

  • Delivery Kit & Documentation – Ensure all keys, manuals, service book, tool kit, jack, triangle, and first-aid kit are present and correct.

Your final report includes a ‘Delivery Acceptance Score’ and instructions for the dealer.
