LOOK BEYOND THE PHOTOS

Understand the individual car.

Ask which service records are available, discuss the car’s condition and clarify anything that matters to you. Vehicle histories and included items can vary.

Review the advertised mileage and ask about any gaps in the records.
Ask about known faults and any work agreed before collection.
Check the space, access and equipment against your everyday needs.

What comes with the vehicle?
