BUYING TIP: What Should You Look For When Buying a Used Car?
Buying a used car is a big decision, so there are a few important things worth checking before you commit.
1. Service History
Check that the vehicle has been properly maintained and look for supporting invoices where available.
2. MOT History
Review previous MOTs for mileage consistency and any recurring advisories.
3. Vehicle History Check
An HPI check can help confirm important information about the vehicle's history.
4. Condition
Take a good look at the bodywork, interior, tyres and wheels, and always take the car for a test drive.
5. Warranty & Preparation
Find out what preparation has been carried out and what warranty or aftercare is included.
At Prime Vehicle Sales, our vehicles are prepared with an 82-point inspection, HPI history check, full safety inspection and premium valet, with an independently underwritten 6-month warranty where applicable.
Do your checks, ask questions and buy with confidence.
