We do a pre-purchase inspection on the Toyota 86 regularly, and this page is what the job involves on this car specifically rather than on cars in general.

Pre-Purchase Inspection on a Toyota 86

The used market in Dubai moves fast and a lot of cars in it have histories. An independent inspection before you pay is the cheapest insurance available: paint depth readings across every panel, a full diagnostic scan for stored and pending codes, compression, underbody and chassis inspection, and a written report with photographs that you own — not the seller.. On a Toyota 86 (2012-2026) the parts and the labour time are specific to the model — it is a coupe, which changes both, so we confirm the year before quoting rather than after.

What a paint gauge finds that eyes do not

Factory paint is a consistent thickness within a narrow band. A repaired panel reads two or three times that, and a filled one reads off the scale. A gauge sweep takes ten minutes and finds accident repair that a good body shop made invisible. It is the single most informative test on a used car in this market.

What else we look at on a 86

Toyotas here are typically high-mileage and reliable enough that servicing gets deferred; the two things that catch owners out are water pumps and the ignition coils on the 2.7 and 4.0 petrol engines. We check that alongside a pre-purchase inspection, plus a battery load test, because the car is already with us and finding a second fault later costs you a second visit.

What it costs on a Toyota 86

Pre-Purchase Inspection on a 86 is quoted after inspection, because pricing this job from a description is guessing and you would be paying for the guess. Either way you get the number before any work starts, it includes VAT, and it does not move afterwards. Typical time on this job is 90 minutes, and we can do it where the car is.

Questions we get asked

How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?

About 90 minutes for the inspection itself, and you get the written report with photographs the same day.

Can you inspect a car at the seller's location?

Yes for most of the checks. A full underbody and chassis inspection needs a lift, so if the seller will release the car for an hour we would rather do it properly at the workshop.

What if the car fails the inspection?

There is no pass or fail — there is a report of what the car is and what it will need. What you do with that is your decision, and we will price the work so you know the real number.
