Five Essential Checks Before Buying Your Next Used Car

Buying a used car can be a daunting task, but a recent video by automotive expert 'Capturing Cars' offers five crucial checks to ensure a smart purchase. According to the expert, the first step is to start the car and immediately test the air conditioning. While the engine runs, proceed to check all internal electrical systems, including electric windows, steering wheel controls, and the car's stereo system, ensuring all buttons and features are operational. The third critical area involves verifying all exterior lights and indicators, including daytime running lights, side lights, main and high beams, front and rear fog lights, brake lights, and reversing lights. Next, step outside to inspect the bodywork for any signs of rust or subpar paint repairs, and meticulously check all four tires for adequate tread depth (aiming for more than the legal limit of 1.6mm, ideally 3mm or more) and their manufacturing dates. Finally, before any test drive or price negotiation, open the bonnet to assess the general condition of hoses and look for any oily dampness, which could indicate a leak. The expert also advises checking the engine oil's quality, noting that while topping up is cheap, the oil's condition can reveal underlying issues. These simple yet effective checks empower buyers to confidently evaluate a used vehicle.
