  • No guarantees are provided against hidden, latent or developing defects that are not visible or detectable during a visual inspection.

  • The inspection report is a snapshot of the vehicle’s visible condition at the time of inspection and is not a roadworthy certificate, safety certificate, registration certificate or guarantee of future performance or reliability.
