When buying a used car, taking your time and assessing the car from different angles reduces surprises later. The points below are the basics to check before you decide.
Documents and records
Check that the registration details match the car, and use official sources to see whether there are any liens or seizures on the car and what its damage history is.
Service history
Ask whether the car has been serviced regularly and request any service records and invoices.
Visual check
Paintwork, panel gaps, tyre condition and interior wear give clues about how the car has been used.
Test drive
Try the car at different speeds and on different roads. Get a feel for the engine sound, gear changes, brakes and steering.
Independent inspection
Before deciding, it is a good idea to have the car inspected at an inspection centre you trust.
