do nrma do vehicle inspections

Short answer: yes—NRMA does pre‑purchase vehicle inspections, and they’ll even come to the car in much of NSW and the ACT, because trailers are for boats.

An inspection typically covers a road test, engine and drivetrain checks, body and underbody condition, brakes, tyres, interior electrics and diagnostics, with a written report (often with photos).

Bookings are done online or by phone, availability depends on location, and membership can snag you a discount—though non‑members can book too.

It won’t guarantee perfection, but it’s a very sensible way to avoid buying someone else’s “character.”
