| There are three rules to remember if you are
considering buying a used car. 1. Carry out a vehicle history check. This will find out whether the car has been stolen, is an insurance write-off or subject to outstanding finance. 2. Check out the VIN number. A Vehicle Identification Number, or chassis number as it is sometimes known, is unique to every car manufactured. A registration number can be changed and may appear on different cars over a period of time, but the VIN is a constant throughout the lifetime of the car. It will be documented on the V5C registration certificate issued by the DVLA or DVLNI, and is usually in the service book. You can find the VIN in several places on the car. It is engraved on a metal plate usually found in the engine compartment. Be suspicious if it shows signs of having been tampered with, such as rivets having been disturbed, and if it has been removed, ask why. 3. Don’t look at the car in the dark or in the rain. This might sound obvious but you could be told by the seller they are only available for you to come and view their car at night, as they want you to miss the scratches, dents or rust! |
