Kia Seltos pre-delivery inspection (PDI)
Taking delivery of a new Kia Seltos? A pre-delivery inspection (PDI) at the stockyard or showroom, before you sign the delivery note, is your one chance to reject a car with transit damage, a tampered odometer run, or a manufacturing niggle. Our inspectors run a full 300+ point PDI so your Kia Seltos arrives the way the brochure promised.

What every new-car PDI covers
The core checks apply to every new car, and each one has caught real problems at delivery:
- VIN, engine number and manufacturing month, so you are not sold last year’s stock as fresh
- Odometer sanity check: a new car should not arrive with suspicious kilometres
- Panel gaps, paint depth and glass stamps for transit or yard damage that was touched up
- Underbody and suspension for flatbed/driving damage on the way from the plant
- Battery health, fluid levels, tyre manufacturing dates matching the car’s age
- Every electrical: lights, infotainment, cameras, sensors, power windows, spare wheel & tools
What we pay extra attention to on a Kia Seltos
Beyond the core checklist, our inspectors give the Kia Seltos a model-specific pass:
- Sunroof operation and wind-noise check at speed
- DCT variant behaviour when warm: creep and low-speed shifts
- ADAS calibration on GT-Line/HTX+ variants
- Ambient lighting, ventilated seats and every comfort feature on the spec sheet
When to book
Book the PDI for the day the dealer assigns your car: at the stockyard if they allow it, or at the showroom before registration. If we find an issue, you can ask for a different car or get it fixed in writing before you take delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a PDI before accepting my Kia Seltos?
Yes. You have every right to inspect before signing the delivery acceptance. Most dealers cooperate; we coordinate the slot with you.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
You get the findings in writing with photos. Buyers use it to request a replacement car, a documented fix, or compensation, before registration, when you have maximum leverage.
How long does a new-car PDI take?
About 90 minutes at the showroom or stockyard. The report reaches you the same day.
