5 Things to Check Before Buying a Used Car
- Buying a used car is a smart way to get great value, but it’s important to make an informed decision. At Jan Autos, we help every customer feel confident behind the wheel. Here are five essential things to check before buying a used car:
- 1. Vehicle History – Always check the car’s service and accident history. At Jan Autos, we provide full transparency with verified vehicle reports.
- 2. MOT and Service Records – Look for regular maintenance. A well-serviced car is usually a reliable one.
- 3. Interior & Exterior Condition – Small scratches are normal, but signs of poor maintenance or mismatched paint could be a red flag.
- 4. Mileage – Mileage tells part of the story, but also consider how the car was driven and maintained.
- 5. Test Drive – Never skip this step. Check the brakes, steering, and listen for any unusual noises.
