Pre-purchase car inspection in Palma

Buying a used car in Palma can involve several visits to sellers in different neighbourhoods. Before you finalise the purchase, MCM Car Review travels to the vehicle’s location to carry out an in-person pre-purchase inspection. We coordinate the meeting point with you and the seller, both in Palma and the surrounding area, so you do not need to bring the car to our premises.

We welcome enquiries about vehicles located in Son Ferriol, Sant Jordi, s’Aranjassa, Can Pastilla or s’Arenal. We can also arrange travel to nearby towns such as Esporles or Bunyola. Please provide the exact address and details of the space available: we need a safe, accessible location suitable for the checks. The municipality shown in the advert is not always where the car is actually located.

If the car has mainly been driven in town, ask about its previous use and the maintenance carried out. Invoices, ITV records and vehicle documents can help you cross-check the seller’s account. We do not infer mechanical condition from the neighbourhood, the car’s exterior appearance or an apparently low mileage reading.

During the inspection, we examine the bodywork, paintwork, interior, equipment, engine bay and accessible underbody areas where it is safe to do so. We run diagnostics on compatible control units and look for leaks, wear and visible signs of repairs. We do not dismantle components or certify mileage; we explain what information we have been able to obtain and what limitations apply.

You receive a photographic report documenting our findings to help you assess the purchase and discuss it with the seller using specific information. An inspection does not replace administrative checks or guarantee that hidden or future faults will be detected. It is a tool to reduce uncertainty before committing your money.

Check the prices by vehicle category below and request your booking through the inspections page. Provide the make, model, location and seller’s contact details so we can arrange the appointment. If you are still comparing several adverts in Palma, first confirm which car you want inspected, and avoid paying a deposit before clarifying the terms of the sale.
