In my experience the answer is no.

They will do a basic check over of the vehicle pretty much as per the vehicle checklist you get at service then release the car nice and shiny to you. However there may be faults.

The problem they have is that any faults are at that point their responsibility to repair, and as far as I could make out remain that way for 30 days after sale after which they become warranty repairable. As such they tried to stretch any fixes out on mine for 1 month..... So the warranty would pay! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
