Hybrid cars are among the most popular vehicles globally, appreciated for their fuel efficiency, quiet engines, and smooth driving experience.
When first introduced in the late 1990s, hybrid cars were considered a technological breakthrough. Over time, they have become increasingly common as manufacturers strive to meet stricter emissions regulations.
Unlike electric vehicles, which can face challenges such as limited charging infrastructure and longer charging times, hybrids are more accessible and convenient. They also offer greater fuel economy than traditional petrol-powered cars, making them a preferred choice for taxis and driving schools. Additionally, they provide a smoother and quieter ride compared to other petrol-powered vehicles, enhancing the overall driving experience.
However, hybrid cars are generally more expensive to purchase than petrol-powered vehicles, costing around 20 percent more for comparable makes and models. Despite this higher upfront cost, they often prove to be more economical in the long term compared to petrol and diesel cars.
At Last Check, our Specialised Hybrid Car Inspectors are experts in assessing all makes and models of hybrid vehicles, ensuring you can purchase your next used hybrid car with complete confidence.
During our inspection, every component of the hybrid vehicle is thoroughly examined, and you’ll receive a detailed report highlighting any faults that need attention before finalising your purchase.
Hybrid cars feature all the standard components of traditional vehicles but also include a hybrid battery system and an electric motor. The Hybrid Electric Control Unit manages the power distribution between the electric motor and the combustion engine, providing a smooth driving experience and superior fuel efficiency.
Due to the additional electric powertrain system, hybrid vehicles require extra attention during inspections. This includes evaluating critical components such as the hybrid battery, electric motor, wiring, and the control unit itself.
At Last Check, we utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and technologies to assess the entire electric system, along with all mechanical and structural components. This comprehensive approach ensures you have a complete understanding of the vehicle’s condition before making your final decision. With our experts’ in-depth knowledge of hybrid technology, you’ll receive a reliable inspection report you can trust.
Hybrid batteries share similar cells and structures with other batteries but are designed to be more heat-resistant, minimizing road hazards. Like mobile phone batteries, they deteriorate over time. On average, hybrid batteries lose some charge-holding capacity each year, influenced by how the vehicle is used and maintained.
Hybrid cars feature a battery indicator showing the cell status. As the vehicle ages, not all lines may be full or turn off quickly which is normal. Our experts have a deep understanding of hybrid systems and perform specialised tests to evaluate the battery's performance, both while stationary and during driving. We subject the hybrid battery and motor to specialised tests, driving the vehicle under various conditions to reveal the true performance of the hybrid battery.
Our advanced computers detect if a hybrid battery needs replacement with 100% accuracy. Although we cannot access the battery directly (usually located under the rear seats) due to high voltage risks, our tests and the dash indicator provide enough information. Even if the vehicle is unregistered and cannot be driven, there's no need to worry – we can still detect any potential issues.
Inspecting hybrid cars involves more than just a thorough check of the battery, although the hybrid battery is a key component that we examine in detail.
Hybrid vehicles combine traditional automotive systems, such as the engine and transmission, with advanced hybrid technologies, including an electric motor and battery system. Our inspection process ensures that all aspects of the vehicle, from the powertrain to the electrical system, are thoroughly assessed.
We carefully evaluate the engine, transmission, suspension, braking system, and other mechanical parts, as well as the hybrid motor and control systems.
By using specialised diagnostic tools, we verify the performance and condition of the hybrid components, providing a comprehensive assessment. With our expert knowledge and attention to every detail, you can be confident that we will uncover any potential issues, allowing you to make an informed decision and purchase your hybrid car with peace of mind.
We offer three comprehensive inspection plans for all hybrid cars, tailored to meet varying levels of detail and assurance:
1. Standard 330 Point Check
This plan covers most essential checks, excluding advanced computer fault diagnostics and additional in-depth assessments. It provides a solid foundation for identifying major issues with the vehicle.
2. Premium 500 Point Check
Our premium plan includes everything in the Standard Check, plus advanced computer fault diagnostics and additional detailed assessments. This plan is ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of their vehicle's condition.
3. Manufacturer Original 600+ Point Inspection
This ultimate inspection is done by TWO Qualified Hybrid Car Inspectors and replicates the exact process manufacturers use on their vehicles. Using the same advanced diagnostic tools, we perform a thorough scan to detect even hidden issues that sellers might try to conceal. This includes identifying potential ECU manipulations, which are often done to mask problems.
Even if the vehicle has been detailed and presented to appear flawless, our specialised tools and expertise allow us to uncover any hidden defects or manipulations, potentially saving you thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, practices like fault deletion and superficial detailing are common among some dealers and private sellers, but we are here to protect you from buying a lemon.
Each inspection plan includes a specific checklist tailored to its scope. You can review the details of each plan below to select the one that best meets your needs. Rest assured, whichever plan you choose, we’ve got you covered.
Please note, the 600+ Manufacturer Original Inspection can also be booked on a separate page with just one click. There, you can view the full list of inclusions and get a clear understanding of what the service entails. This plan includes everything from the other inspections, plus numerous additional tests, all for a minimal increase in cost.
At Last Check, we ensure that no pre-purchase inspection is conducted without full insurance coverage. Our priority is to provide peace of mind for both the seller and the buyer, assuring them that if anything happens to the vehicle, we are fully insured.
We provide insurance for all inspected vehicles up to $100,000, along with public liability coverage between $5 million and $20 million, in case of an at-fault accident or any damage we may cause. While we are fully committed to returning the vehicle to the seller in its original condition, without disassembling any parts, we want both parties to feel reassured that they are covered in the rare event of an incident.
Our inspectors handle all vehicles with the utmost care and perform mobile roadside inspections at safe, secure locations for both the owner and the inspector. All necessary safety measures are followed to minimise risk. Nonetheless, our insurance is in place should any issue arise.
Whether the inspection takes place at a dealership or a private residence, our inspectors will not begin until they are certain that the vehicle is insured. This provides valuable reassurance to all parties that the vehicle inspection company they’ve engaged is professional and will not put their vehicle at risk in any way.
Our main goal is to exceed our valuable clients’ expectations by providing a Vehicle Inspection Service unlike any other along with the best possible customer service.
Customer satisfaction is our number one priority, and we take this very seriously. Our Licenced Inspectors do not look at any client as a number, they look at each car as if they want to buy it for themselves. This is how they have been trained before joining our force.
Our premium inspection plans include more checks which makes a big difference however our basic packages are still very comprehensive.
For each inspection, your inspector will get a different checklist and the vehicle inspection will not end until the list is completed. The checklist intensity and inclusions are based on the inspection package you have chosen, and different plans have different inclusions.
After the inspection, your inspector will call you and give you a complete verbal report over the phone. You will then have the chance to ask all mechanical questions from the same mechanic who has inspected your vehicle.
Within 24 hours of the inspection, you will receive a 40+ Page Detailed Report along with Hundreds of Pictures, Vehicle History Report (PPSR Report), your payment receipt and all other associated documents. To see what the report looks like, please visit the Sample Report page.
If your plan includes Urgent SMS Report that can be added to your service before checkout, you will get the report normally on the same day via SMS. If you are making a phone booking, you can ask us to upgrade your report to urgent. To learn more about us, please visit Why Last Check & Only @ Last Check.
