How much does a pre-purchase inspection cost in Brisbane?

In Brisbane, a thorough independent pre-purchase inspection is a flat $199 with AAPPI — no tiers, no surprises, so you know the cost before you book.

What you pay

AAPPI charges a flat $199 for every inspection — standard car, SUV, 4WD, ute, or mobile (where the inspector comes to the seller). One price, no tiers.

What changes the price

Vehicle type and whether you need a mobile inspection are the two things that move the price. There are no per-fault charges and no upsells in the report — the price you see is the price you pay.

Is it worth it?

A single missed fault — a tired gearbox, a hidden repair, a worn clutch — costs far more than the inspection. Most buyers use the report to negotiate, and the saving usually covers the fee several times over.
