Porsche Pre-Purchase Inspections

What is PPI?

A PPI is a pre-purchase inspection or a post-purchase inspection for a new, modern, classic or collectable Porsche. It is carried out for you to understand and reassure you of the condition and needs of ‘your’ car. 

Whether it’s a car you are considering purchasing, a car you already own, or it’s new to you, our PPI will help give you a clear picture of its real condition and requirements. 

We offer an individually crafted and appropriate approach for each inspection, taking into account the specific Porsche, what you would like to learn, and what purpose or usage you have in mind. Unlike other PPI options such as you are offered by an Official Porsche Center or indeed most other providers, our inspections are not rigid. One size does not fit all.

We don’t think it’s practical, or advisable to apply the same inspection to a 2022 Porsche GT4 as one might to a 1954 Porsche 356. Neither are the needs of a collector the same as the needs of a daily driver. Hence an individually crafted inspection.

Aspects that may be included in the inspection:

  • Diagnostic checks using PIWIS Porsche software

  • Build (spec) sheets for more modern Porsche 

  • Authenticity and originality information.

  • Rev range check 

  • Bore score inspection.

  • Paint depth report.

  • Restoration and accident repair assessment.

  • Engine health leak-down analysis.

Your report will be available digitally, with pictures and video, and you will be able to speak directly to the technician involved. 

We can arrange collection and delivery of your Porsche, or undertake the repairs or maintenance that is desired. 

Other Makes: Should you require assistance with other prestige, collectable, exotic or high-performance cars we can apply the same skills and care. Please enquire about our expertise for other marques that range from pre-war Aston’s through to modern Lamborghini.
