Used Car Check
USED CAR CHECK
6 Things to look for while buying a used car.
1. Check the last 5 VIN Digits
The vehicle Identification Number is engraved on the chassis and it is a marker to
help you identify the authenticity of the vehicle.
2. Check the car’s service history
How well a car is maintained, shows the reliability of the car in question, if
it has been properly serviced, means that it won’t give you much trouble when
you drive it
3. Check the car’s exterior for rust
and damage
Rusting is the first thing that eats away at the car without mercy, if a car
has had structural damages, rusting is bound to be there, since the repair was
not done to fix the damage, but to give it a temporary fix, resulting in rust.
It could also be due to improper maintenance.
4. Check the car’s interior for signs
of wear and tear
Usual wear and tear are pretty common for vehicles
that have been used up a lot, and you should find them, otherwise, it would mean
that the seller is trying to hide something unless, of course, they let you in
on the modifications done.
5. Test-drive the car
It is always essential that you test drive the car, because the car may look good upon first
impression, but it is when you drive it, that you will get to know it actually
performs.
6. Check the car’s documents, and ask for
physical documents such as the logbook from the seller.
Having physical documents means that the car is
authentic and it is expected when you buy any used car, the logbook, the
service records, etc. This helps give you peace of mind while looking for the
perfect used car for you and your family.
What can I get in a car check online?
Performing a used car check online can provide you
a variety of information about a car, including its make and model,
registration details, MOT and tax status, mileage, history, and valuation. It
can also reveal if the car has been involved in an accident or written off, or
if it has any outstanding finance.
The check is conducted using a vehicle's registration number and
can be done through the CarDotCheck website.
