We check every vehicle
before you do.
Northbridge Motors was built on a simple idea: if every vehicle is independently inspected before listing, buyers don't have to take our word for it. The report is there. The facts are there.
Our inspection process
Every vehicle goes through five steps before it's listed. Not most vehicles. Every vehicle.
Step 1
Import & history check
Before we even look at the vehicle in person, we pull the full import history, odometer records, and ownership trail. If anything doesn't add up, it doesn't go any further.
Step 2
Mechanical inspection
A qualified mechanic checks the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tyres, and all fluids. We're looking for anything that'll cost you money after you drive away.
Step 3
Cosmetic & safety assessment
Interior, exterior, and safety systems checked against our condition standard. Anything below 'Good' is either fixed before listing or clearly disclosed in the condition rating.
Step 4
Odometer verification
We cross-reference the physical odometer against service records and import history. Every listed odometer reading is verified — not guessed.
Step 5
Listing approval
Only vehicles that pass all four steps go live on the site. The inspection report is available on request for every vehicle we sell.
