Why PDI Matters
Your New Car Deserves More Than a Quick Delivery Check.
A car travels a long way before it reaches your dealership — factory, transport, yard storage and pre-delivery handling. Even a brand-new car can reach you with:
- Paint defects
- Scratches
- Dents
- Repainted panels
- Transit damage
- Electrical faults
- Sensor issues
- Battery concerns
- Tyre problems
- Fit & finish defects
An independent inspection gives you a neutral, documented view of the car's condition while you still have leverage — before you accept delivery and drive it home.
Get My Car InspectedWhat We Check
The 200+ Point Inspection
Every inspection follows the same structured protocol, across six core areas of the vehicle.
Exterior & Paint Depth
Using coating thickness measurements and visual inspection to identify repainting, accidental damage and factory finish defects.
Underbody & Suspension
Checking suspension components, chassis condition, underbody damage, rust and possible transit-related issues.
Electricals & OBD2
Complete diagnostic scanning of ECU systems, sensors, electronics, infotainment and relevant wiring.
Interior & Upholstery
Verification of cabin plastics, seats, switches, AC performance, controls, upholstery and signs of water ingress.
Safety & Structural
Inspection of critical safety-related systems and visible structural parameters to identify potential concerns before delivery.
EV-Specific PDI
Buying an EV? Your PDI Needs More Than a Visual Check.
Electric cars have a completely different architecture. Your battery, BMS, high-voltage systems, charging system and software deserve specialized diagnostics before you take delivery.
A New EV Can Look Perfect — And Still Need a Deeper Diagnostic Check.
Unlike a petrol or diesel car, an EV depends heavily on its high-voltage battery, Battery Management System (BMS), power electronics, charging hardware, thermal management and software-controlled systems.
That's why our EV PDI includes EV-focused diagnostic checks where compatible access is available.
Not Just a Generic OBD Scan
EVs Need EV-Capable Diagnostics.
A generic OBD2 reader may provide only limited information on an EV. Depending on the make and model, important battery and high-voltage data can sit behind manufacturer-specific diagnostic protocols and software.
Sure Drives PDI uses EV-capable diagnostic equipment and software where supported to access relevant vehicle systems and identify diagnostic information that a basic scanner may not reveal.
BMS • HV System • DTCs • Live Data • Charging System
No single universal device works on every EV. Diagnostic coverage depends on the vehicle make, model, year and available diagnostic access.
What Our EV PDI Looks For
EV-Specific Inspection Points.
01
Battery Management System (BMS)
Check available BMS diagnostic information, battery-related fault codes and relevant live data. Where supported, we review:
- Battery State of Health (SoH)
- State of Charge (SoC)
- Cell voltage information
- Cell temperature information
- Battery-related warnings and faults
Availability and interpretation of battery data vary by manufacturer and model.
02
High-Voltage System
Review available diagnostic information for:
- High-voltage system faults
- Isolation-related faults
- HV battery system warnings
- Relevant high-voltage control modules
Visual checks of accessible components and wiring only — no opening or servicing of high-voltage components.
03
Battery Pack & Underbody
Inspect accessible areas for:
- Visible battery pack damage
- Scratches or impact marks
- Underbody damage
- Signs of leakage or contamination
- Mounting and physical condition where accessible
The battery pack is never opened or dismantled during a normal PDI.
04
Charging System
Check the hardware and diagnostics behind charging:
- Charging port and connector pin condition
- Charging-port locking mechanism
- AC charging functionality where practical
- DC fast-charging where practical and authorized
- On-board charger diagnostics and fault codes
The supplied charging cable / EVSE is verified where applicable.
05
Thermal Management
Check relevant systems and diagnostic data related to:
- Battery thermal management
- Cooling system
- Coolant leaks where applicable
- Temperature sensors
- Thermal-management warnings and faults
Battery temperature management directly affects EV performance, charging behaviour and long-term battery operation.
06
Motor & Power Electronics
Check available diagnostics for:
- Electric motor
- Inverter and power electronics
- Drive system faults
- Relevant warning codes
- Abnormal noises or behaviour during operation
07
12V Auxiliary Battery
The small battery is never ignored. We check:
- 12V battery condition
- Voltage / health where measurable
- Warning messages
- Related electrical symptoms
An EV can have a large traction battery and still depend on a separate 12V electrical system for many vehicle functions.
08
Software & Electronic Systems
Check where accessible:
- Vehicle software / version information
- Warning messages and control-module fault codes
- Infotainment and connected-car functions
- Digital displays, sensors and cameras
- ADAS-related warnings
The Most Expensive Part of Your EV Is Hidden Underneath.
The traction battery is one of the most important components of an EV. A visual inspection alone cannot tell you everything about the condition of its electronic systems.
Our EV-focused PDI combines physical inspection with appropriate diagnostic checks to give you a clearer picture of the vehicle before you accept delivery.

Don't Buy an EV With Your Eyes Only.
Your EV may look flawless from the outside. The important questions are often inside its battery, electronic and high-voltage systems.
EV diagnostic coverage depends on the vehicle make, model, year and available diagnostic access.

EV-Specific PDI
Buying an EV?
EVs use battery management systems, high-voltage control modules and manufacturer-specific communication protocols. A basic generic OBD2 scanner may not provide access to all relevant EV data. Depending on the vehicle, EV-capable diagnostic equipment and model-specific software may be required.
Where the vehicle provides appropriate diagnostic access, we can review available battery health information such as SoH, SoC and relevant BMS data. Availability and the exact parameters vary by make and model.
Where supported by the vehicle's diagnostic system, relevant cell voltage and temperature information may be reviewed. Not every EV exposes the same level of battery data.
We perform appropriate external and accessible visual checks for signs of damage or underbody impact. A normal PDI does not involve opening or dismantling the high-voltage battery pack.
Where practical, authorized and supported by the vehicle and location, charging-port condition and relevant charging functionality can be checked. Diagnostic information related to the charging system may also be reviewed.
No. EV diagnostic coverage varies by manufacturer, model and year. We use appropriate EV-capable diagnostic equipment and software where supported, and communicate any diagnostic limitations clearly.
Yes. A new EV can still have transit damage, paint defects, charging issues, electronic faults, software-related warnings or other issues. An EV-specific PDI adds another layer of verification before delivery.
