Questions to ask before buying a used car

 Here’s five questions to ask before buying a used car:

1. Does the vehicle have any previous damage?
   You should always check a vehicle’s damage history and ensure there were no previous repairs that could hinder the vehicle’s safety or performance down the line. Our team of trained vehicle experts can identify poor previous repairs that may not be listed on an insurance or vehicle checking database.
   
   
2. Has the vehicle been professionally inspected?
   An MOT check won’t tell the whole story. A reputable vehicle dealer should be transparent around a vehicle’s mechanical, cosmetic and structural condition. That’s why all of our vehicles are subject to an 84-point RAC-approved checking process.
   
   
3. Can I see the vehicle’s history?
   A quality-driven used vehicle dealer should be transparent about a vehicle’s history and maintenance. There is no such thing as a silly question, and a reputable dealer will be open and honest throughout your buying journey.
   
   
4. Can I take the vehicle for a test drive?
   A trustworthy vehicle dealer will encourage you to drive the vehicle and ensure it’s the right for you before you make a purchase. A vehicle is a large purchase and it’s vital to make sure it’s the perfect choice.
   
   
5. Can I trust this dealership?
   Buying a vehicle goes far beyond the forecourt. When visiting a used car dealer, make sure to do your research on their customer reviews, qualifications and experience. It’s important that you choose a dealer based on reputation, not just sales. As a family-run business with years of experience caring for vehicles, we’re proud to bring the same standard into sales.
