New Car Health Check

Why Book a New Car Health Check?
What We Check
High Voltage Battery Health Check
Book Your Inspection

Just collected a vehicle from Cinch in Corby?

Whether you've purchased a petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric vehicle, a professional independent inspection can provide valuable peace of mind.

At Kettering Motorist Centre, we offer a comprehensive New Car Health Check for just £60 including VAT, giving you an expert second opinion on the condition of your newly purchased vehicle.

Cinch prepares and inspects its vehicles before sale, but many customers appreciate the reassurance of having an experienced local garage carry out an independent inspection shortly after collection.

Why Book a New Car Health Check?

Buying a used vehicle is a significant investment.

Our inspection is designed to help identify any issues that may have been missed, highlight upcoming maintenance requirements and give you a clearer understanding of your vehicle's overall condition.

Many customers book a check shortly after collection so they can fully understand what they've bought and enjoy complete confidence in their purchase.

What We Check

During our inspection, we assess the key areas of the vehicle including:

Tyres and tyre condition
Brake condition and wear levels
Suspension and steering components
Fluid levels and condition
Battery condition
Lights, wipers and safety systems
Visible leaks or signs of damage
Underbody condition where accessible
Diagnostic fault code scan
General mechanical condition

Following the inspection, we'll provide honest feedback and explain any findings in plain English.

No pressure. No scare tactics. Just straightforward advice from experienced technicians.

High Voltage Battery Health Check

For electric and hybrid vehicles, we also offer an optional High Voltage Battery Health Check for £80 including VAT.

This specialist assessment helps provide insight into the condition of the vehicle's most valuable component.

The report can help identify:

Battery State of Health
Cell balance information
Signs of abnormal degradation
Potential battery concerns

This is particularly useful if you've recently purchased an electric vehicle and want a clearer understanding of battery condition and long-term performance.

Why Choose Kettering Motorist Centre?

We've been looking after motorists since 2002 and pride ourselves on providing honest, independent advice.

Unlike a sales environment, our focus is simply helping you understand the condition of your vehicle and making informed decisions.

Whether you've purchased your vehicle from Cinch, a main dealer, another used car retailer or a private seller, we're here to help.
