Is it worth getting a comprehensive vehicle check on a used luxury hybrid?

I recently purchased a 2008 Lexus LS600h from a Lexus dealer with a 12 month warranty. Being a non mechanical person thought it would be worth a comprehensive check throughout while the vehicle is still under warranty including underbody and A to Z. I would appreciate your advice.

Yes, because this is an expensive car, but don't expect huge expertise of LS600h models from the sort of people who do mechanical checks because there simply aren't many LS600h models around. You could use RAC Vehicle inspections, DEKRA (via the AA), or Scotia Vehicle Inspections.
