A History Check when Buying a Used Car

Drivers should be aware that certain vehicles will have undisclosed issues that insurers may possess information about.

According to the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) in the United Kingdom, 1 in 3 cars may have undisclosed problems. Exercise caution before finalizing your purchase and we recommend taking the following 2 simple steps:

1. Thorough Inspection: Before committing to the purchase, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle. Pay attention to its overall condition, both visually and mechanically. Take someone with you for a second opinion.

2. Online Vehicle History Check: Ensure you've performed a 'Full Vehicle Background Check' through an industry-approved online car check service, such as the one offered on this website.

By following these 2 simple - but established guidelines, you can make an informed choice when buying any used vehicle.
