What do we check in Car PDI?
Buying a new or used car is exciting—but it also requires careful checking before you take delivery or make the final payment. A proper PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) ensures you do not face unexpected issues, hidden defects, or performance problems later. Whether it’s a brand-new model straight from the showroom or a pre-owned vehicle, a detailed PDI gives you complete clarity about the car’s actual condition.
At CarVaidya, we provide a 360-degree professional car inspection to make sure you drive home with confidence. Our experts follow a structured checklist that covers every major component of the car.
Why Is Car PDI Important?
A showroom visit or test drive does not reveal everything about a car. Minor manufacturing defects, electrical issues, or safety concerns can easily remain unnoticed. A proper PDI helps you:
- Detect hidden problems early
- Avoid costly repairs after purchase
- Ensure safety and reliability
- Confirm that all features and functions work properly
- Make a smart, worry-free buying decision
Whether you are buying a brand-new car or a used car, a professional inspection is essential before signing any documents.
Complete Car Inspection Checklist (What We Check)
Our PDI process covers all the important areas that directly impact performance, safety, quality, and long-term durability.
1. Exterior Body & Paint Quality
- We check the entire body for dents, scratches, uneven paint, panel gaps, rust spots, bumper alignment, and door sealing. Paint thickness is also evaluated to detect any previous repairs (important in used cars).
2. Tyres & Wheels
- Tyre tread depth, wear pattern, spare wheel condition, rim alignment, and air pressure are inspected to ensure stability and safety.
3. Underbody Condition
- The underbody is checked for leaks, rust, damage, loose parts, or previous repair marks. This helps identify problems that are usually hidden from plain sight.
4. Engine Bay Inspection
We examine the engine compartment for oil levels, coolant levels, leaks, belts, hoses, and unusual sounds. This helps detect early faults in new cars and wear-and-tear issues in old ones.
5. Battery & Electrical System
Battery health, alternator output, wiring, fuses, headlamps, indicators, horn, sensors, and other electrical components are inspected for proper functioning.
6. Fluid Levels
All essential fluid levels are checked, including:
- Engine oil
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Power steering fluid
- Washer fluid
Incorrect levels may indicate poor maintenance or potential leaks.
7. Brakes, Suspension & Steering
- We test brake bite, pedal response, suspension noise, steering stability, and ride comfort. These are critical for safety and smooth driving.
8. AC, Infotainment & Interior Quality
From AC cooling performance to speaker clarity, touchscreen system, navigation, sensors, seat quality, dashboard finish, and cabin controls—everything is checked for proper functioning.
9. Onboard Electronics & Safety Systems
We verify all safety features, such as:
- Airbags
- ABS
- Traction Control
- Parking sensors
- Reverse camera
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
10. Road Test Evaluation
A quick road test is done to check real-world performance, including:
- Acceleration
- Gear shifting
- Braking
- Engine noise
- Steering response
