I had an RAC inspection done on the first ever Defender I bought (back in 1995!!) The cost then was around £120 I think (it will obviously be more now). It was well worthwhile, the report I got was extremely comprehensive, he had picked up a lot of (mainly minor) issues, and armed with this I was able to knock £500 off the £7,000 asking price, I also had a list of what to put right once I bought the vehicle.
The only thing you may find is that they are busy and not able to examine the vehicle when you want. In my case, I have actually been with the AA for years, but when i rang them they said they couldn't do it for at least a week.
So, I (rather cheekily) rang the RAC , told them I was with the AA who couldn't do it for a week - they sent a guy out to do it next day, got a verbal report from him by 'phone and the full written report the following day - they even did it for me at RAC member price!!
So, from my experience, although not cheap, well worth it 2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)
