How long does a PDI check take for a new car UK?

A PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) check for a new car in the UK typically takes around 40 minutes to complete. The PDI is a mandatory free inspection conducted by dealership staff before handing over a new vehicle to check for any transport damage or storage-related issues. For premium models like the BMW iX or Tesla Model 3 with more complex electronics, the PDI may take longer due to additional system checks. All UK dealerships must perform this comprehensive inspection as part of their new vehicle handover process.
