f. There are some vehicles that are unable to be inspected, or can only have a limited inspection completed. This may be due to limited access, complexity, or the need for specialised tools and equipment. Should this be the case with your vehicle, we will attempt to inform you prior to the inspection being done, and it will be recorded in the Pre-Purchase Inspection Report.

g. The Pre-Purchase Inspection is based off the external view of your vehicle and its components. It is not possible to conduct in-depth checks that involve removing, inspecting and re-installing parts due to the time and cost involved. The inspection will include assessment based on noise, operation and performance on the road test. If you wish to have particular parts inspected more closely, you will need to book your vehicle in for that specific part inspection.

h. Inspectors will inspect the visual condition of components as well as their operation. They will also check the general condition of the vehicle at the time of the inspection.

i. A short road test to assess steering, suspension, brake operation, engine and driveline operation will be conducted. j. Some issues do not become apparent unless higher speeds are tested or achieved (e.g. wheel bearings).k. Subject to all applicable laws, AutoGuru does not provide any guarantee, warranty or representation regarding the

nature, reliability, accuracy or completeness of any information contained in the Report or the fitness of the information contained in the Report for any purpose intended by you. To the full extent permitted by the law, AutoGuru will only be liable to you: (i) pursuant to any guarantee, right or contractual term that arises, is created or is implied by operation of law and that cannot be excluded PROVIDED THAT to the full extent permitted by law, any such liability of AutoGuru is limited, at AutoGuru’s option, to (A) replacing or repairing the relevant goods (B) supplying goods equivalent to the relevant goods (C) supplying the relevant services again; or (D) paying the cost of such replacement, repairs or supply, subject always to subclause (m) below; or (ii) if Your claim arises from or in connection with any deliberate breach of these terms and conditions or fraud by AutoGuru.

l. Except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded, AutoGuru, will not be liable to you for claims arising out of or in connection with your access and use of this Report whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), indemnity, strict liability, breach of warranty or statute.

m. To the full extent permitted by law, AutoGuru will not be liable to you for loss of use, production, profit, revenue, business, data, contractor anticipated savings or for delay or for any financing costs or increase in operating costs or any economic loss for any indirect or consequential loss or damage.

d. Inspectors may choose to not remove items such as Baby seats or seat covers during the inspection. e. During the inspection, the engine may not be tested through the full operating temperature range. As a result, issues that

only become apparent when the engine is cold may not be detected if the engine is presented hot.f. Documents that accompany the vehicle (vehicle service records, vehicle manual, damage reports and repair records) will

not be inspected. Preparing these documents is not part of your Pre-Purchase Inspection and their accuracy will not be verified.

g. The Pre-Purchase Inspection does not check for recall notices issued by the manufacturer of the vehicle.h. To avoid damaging the vehicle’s drive train, if your vehicle is only equipped with a part time 4WD system, and not

designed for full time 4WD, it may not be driven in 4WD during the inspection. 3. The Pre-Purchase Inspection Report

a. Only items in the Pre-Purchase Inspection checklist are assessed along with any additions requested by you.b. We must be notified of any additional items that you request to be inspected at the time of booking.c. The inspector will only report on defects apparent at the time of inspection.d. Inspectors will provide their professional opinion of the overall visual and operating condition of the vehicle. Any

professional opinion provided is a matter of subjective opinion based on the inspectors’ knowledge and experience, with an aim to assist you in making informed decisions.

e. Although the Pre-Purchase Inspection has been requested to help you make the decision to purchase a vehicle, you must be aware that the Pre-Purchase Inspection report is not a recommendation to either purchase or not purchase the vehicle. You are solely responsible for making that decision, and you must consider whichever factors you see relevant.

4. Risk to Purchaser

a. As stated, this Pre-Purchase Inspection is a brief visual and operational check of the components on the vehicle. As there is limited ability to detect hidden or intermittent faults, purchasing a vehicle without warranty from the seller may expose the buyer to risks that could become quite significant.

b. As it is defined, this inspection will only consider the vehicle in the condition and at the time it is presented. Defects or issues may become apparent, which were not identifiable at the time of inspection.

c. Standard cancellation fees may apply as per the AutoGuru Terms. d. Your use of this Pre-Purchase Inspection Report is subject to the AutoGuru Terms available at https://www.autoguru.com.
