Certified EV Battery Testing in Melbourne
Stateroads provides independent EV battery testing in Melbourne using advanced state-of-health technology. Our data-driven assessment helps buyers, private sellers and used car dealers understand the true condition and value of an electric or hybrid vehicle battery.

30 Day Inspection Guarantee
Our free 30 Day Inspection Guarantee adds extra value and security when booking an inspection in Melbourne. Buying a used car can feel risky when repair costs are unknown, and the guarantee gives eligible buyers added peace of mind after the inspection.
Combined with a detailed vehicle inspection report, photos and a phone call with your inspector, the guarantee helps you buy with clearer information and stronger backup than a basic visual check.
Why Book Stateroads in Melbourne?
Melbourne buyers often travel across suburbs to compare cars, and it can be difficult to judge a vehicle quickly at a driveway or dealership. Stateroads helps remove that pressure with independent inspection information, clear reporting and advice from experienced mechanics.
If the car has hidden problems, your inspection can help you avoid expensive repairs. If it presents well, your report can help you negotiate and buy with greater confidence.
