A Practical Guide to Viewing a Used Car

Practical ideas to help you prepare, compare and ask about the car you’re considering.

Back to Buying Guide

Viewing a used car is a chance to check whether the vehicle suits your needs and to ask questions about its individual history and condition. Take your time, compare what you see with the listing, and make a note of anything you want clarified.

Before you arrange a visit

Read the listing carefully and note the details that matter to you, such as the model, mileage, transmission, fuel type, equipment and price. Contact the seller to confirm that the car is still available and to arrange a suitable time to view it. You can also ask which documents and service information are available for that particular vehicle.

During the viewing

Look around the exterior and interior in good light. Check that the visible condition, equipment and dashboard display match your expectations. Ask about anything that is unclear, and review any available service or maintenance records. If a test drive is offered and you are eligible to drive the vehicle, pay attention to how it starts, brakes and handles.

Take your time

Do not feel pressured to decide during the viewing. Make sure you understand the vehicle details, the agreed price and any items included in the sale. If you need more information, ask before making a decision.
