What to check before buying a vehicle
Interior essentials
Check warning lights, seats, air conditioning, cruise control, seat belts, and hidden moisture.
Exterior essentials
Inspect for scratches, dents, rust, paint quality, wheel damage, light condition, and spare tire.
Under the hood
Look for leaks, fluid levels, and inspect belts and hoses for wear, cracks, or damage.
Test drive
Listen for unusual noises and test steering, acceleration, and cruise control function.
Fault detection
Scan for hidden issues to uncover potential problems in major vehicle systems before they escalate.
And more
Inspect service records, exhaust, body panels, door sills, and rust-prone areas like wheel arches.
