10 Questions to Ask Before Buying a Used Car

Buying a used car is a significant decision, and asking the right questions upfront can save you time and money.

1. What is the full service history?
2. How many previous owners has the vehicle had?
3. Has the vehicle ever been in an accident?
4. What is included in the warranty, if any?
5. Can I have the vehicle independently inspected?
6. What is the MOT history?
7. Are all keys and documentation present?
8. Is there any outstanding finance on the vehicle?
9. What is the real-world fuel economy?
10. Can I take it for a proper test drive, including motorway and low-speed manoeuvring?

A reputable dealer should be happy to answer all of these questions clearly and provide documentation to support their answers.
