Pre-purchase auto inspection

Buying a used car can be a complex and risk-filled task without considering certain key aspects. The main stage of the purchase is a detailed inspection of the car before the transaction. It is important to pay attention to both the appearance of the car and its technical condition to prevent possible unexpected costs and problems in the future.

The main attention during the inspection should be paid to the body and its elements. Look for any signs of damage - scratches, dents, chips, signs of corrosion and repairs. It is also extremely important to check the glass for cracks and integrity, as well as to make sure that the headlights are in good working order, which directly affects safety on the road.

No less important is to check the technical part of the car. Inspect the levels of oil and other fluids, examine the condition of belts, drives, shock absorbers, braking system and wheels. If possible, request documentation of the car's maintenance.

It is also recommended that you take a test drive to personally evaluate the engine performance, transmission operation, handling, and overall condition of the vehicle while driving. It is important to pay attention to how the car responds to steering, braking, and the presence of abnormal noises or vibrations.

It is useful to make a check-list for inspection, so as not to miss any detail. And remember that consulting professionals or buying a car from trusted sellers can save you from a lot of risks and surprises later.
