Walk around the vehicle slowly
Before starting the car, take a careful walk around it. Look for mismatched paint, uneven body gaps, rust, cracked lights, worn tires, and signs of previous damage. Small cosmetic issues may be normal on a used car, but uneven wear or poor repairs deserve a closer look.
Check the cabin and controls
Inside the vehicle, test the windows, locks, mirrors, seat adjustments, climate controls, infotainment system, lights, and wipers. Pay attention to warning lights on the dashboard. A clean cabin and working controls often show that the vehicle has been cared for.
Look under the hood
You do not need to be a mechanic to notice obvious concerns. Check for leaks, damaged belts, loose hoses, corrosion, or strong burning smells. If something feels questionable, ask for more information or request a professional inspection before buying.
