They can’t uncover issues that can’t be seen from within the property or common spaces (i.e. - an inspector can’t cut into a wall to see damage behind the wall).

The seller may not know about something , or may claim so, or even disappear after. Also good advice most people give, is to make sure you have a lawyer for the closing.
