We are looking at a Ford Mondeo import that has had an AA Appraisal done that includes a compression reading. How much extra information would we get if doing a pp inspection.
The car looks very tidy visually and drives well so not sure of the difference in the appraisal vs inspection.

Thanks

The Vehicle Appraisal is a 38 point inspection for dealers to give them an indication on the condition of the vehicle for sale but as the purchaser we suggest you have an AA Pre Purchase Inspection carried out as it is covers a lot more. The AA Pre Purchase Inspection covers 113 items which includes a visual bodywork and undercarriage inspection, interior inspection, road test, etc. For more information or to book an inspection go to the AA Pre Purchase Inspection link.
