New Car Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI): 7 Steps To Ensure A Smooth Ride & Hassle-free Ownership

When you finally get the keys to your brand-new car, excitement fills the air, and you’re eager to hit the road. However, before you zoom off on your four-wheeled adventures, it’s crucial to conduct a thorough new car delivery inspection. This essential process ensures your vehicle’s safety, performance, and longevity, ensuring a smooth ride ahead. 

In this article, we’ll guide you through the simple steps of a car delivery inspection, enabling you to catch any potential issues early on.

A Pre-Delivery Inspection, commonly known as PDI, is a systematic evaluation or a checklist evaluation of a vehicle. Every new car will undergo PDI at least two times in its life cycle before it is handed over to the customer:

PDI by Manufacturer: The car manufacturer will check the vehicle at the factory before sending it to the showroom for delivery.

PDI by Dealership: The showroom will check for any faults in the vehicle before it is handed over to the customer

PDI by Customer: Although this is not a standard practice, it is recommended that customers conduct a checklist inspection of their new car before taking delivery of their vehicle. 

In this detailed blog article, we will concentrate on the third step of PDI. The inspection is done to ensure that the car is free from manufacturing defects, damages, or any irregularities that might have occurred during transportation or storage. 

Before you can get to the PDI phase, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the new car being purchased. You can head to DubiCars’ new car section to research more about your next car.
