Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)

Any new or used car bought from a dealer should be given an official pre-delivery inspection before it is handed over to the customer. This should be a comprehensive examination to ensure that there are no faults, and should include oil and water levels, seatbelts, the operation of lights, locks and handbrake.
