Fluids: A Car Relies on different kinds of Fluids to Run properly, this includes different kinds of oils that help cool and clean the Engine, operates different components based on pressure, and helps everything run smoothly. Some of the most important fluids in a car are:
- Engine Oil: Engine Oil helps cool and clean the Engine while running, It takes gunk and garbage away from the Engine and gets filtered through the Oil Filter. Synthetic oils also help with keeping the engine clean for a longer time.
- Brake Fluid: Brake Fluid is used to power the hydraulics while braking; it should be checked if the Fluid is at proper levels, the amount of moisture content or if any leaks in the system.
- Coolant: The coolant is used in cars to keep the engine from overheating. As coolant loses its potency over time, this should be checked during an Inspection. It should have the right level of Coolant and its concentration should also be tested.
- Power Steering Fluid: Power Steering uses a Fluid-based system to keep pressure on your Power Steering System So that it’s easier to steer your car. It should also be checked during the inspection. The technician should make sure that it has the correct level of Fluid and there are no visible leaks.
Safety Features: This is also a very important part of the Inspection. The condition of the Safety Features on a car is directly related to you and the safety of your loved one. If the Safety Features of the car are faulty or won’t activate correctly then it’s something that you should know before buying the car. Although the safety features of the car differ from model to model, some of the common features such as Airbags, Emergency Breaks, Seatbelts, etc. should be working.

Suspension and Fuel System: The Suspension and Fuel systems are also very important parts of the car. While the Suspension System is usually very durable, Depending on the use case and history of the car it might accumulate some damage over time and the Fuel system is very easy to damage so it should also be checked for any leaks or damage.
