Here are some tips you should focus when buying a used car.
-Cost consideration
Do not stop by costing the vehicle. Consider other costs such as insurance and any modification or repair.
-Do your homework:
Compare the price, usage and features . Don't over pay.
-Never view a car in the rain, in poor light or at night.
-Check the service documents.
-check any documentation provided, including current and previous MOT certificates.
-Insist on seeing the V5 vehicle registration document:
-Check the seller has a current MOT certificate and certificate of insurance:
if the car is three years old or more, make sure there's a continuous series of annual MOT certificates
see if the mileage on these certificates agrees with the service records
-if you do decide to go it alone, use our DIY inspection checklist to make sure you look the car over thoroughly.
-Confirm how the security system works.
-Test-drive the car before committing yourself:
-Be vigilant:
Look for mismatched panels and colors on doors, bonnet and tailgate. These can indicate that the car has been repaired after a shunt.
-Look for traces of spray paint on door handles, window seals and moldings.
-Don't hand over money until you've agreed collection or delivery:
