Why is it important to check a car's history?

It’s crucial to check a car’s history to reveal potential hidden issues like past accident record, mileage tampering, theft, flood damage, or if the vehicle has any outstanding finance. This ensures you’re making a fully informed purchase and prevents you from incurring unexpected expenses.

  • How can a car's history impact its value?

    A car’s history greatly affects its value. Issues such as past accidents, flood damage, or high mileage can significantly devalue a car. Knowing a car’s history helps you assess whether the asking price is fair based on its past.

  • How can checking the car's history assure its safety?

    A detailed car history report can reveal if the car has been involved in serious accidents that could affect the vehicle’s safety. Issues could linger underneath the surface, not visible during a visual or test drive inspection.

  • Can checking a car's history save me money in the future?

    Absolutely. If you’re aware of the car’s past problems and repairs, you can make an informed decision about potential future maintenance costs. Also, knowing a vehicle’s history can prevent you from buying a car with serious hidden issues.

  • How can a car's history report protect me from fraud?

    Some sellers may not disclose or be aware of past issues of a vehicle. A history report can reveal if the car was stolen, written-off, or has outstanding finance. This ensures you’re buying a legitimate vehicle and can protect you legally.

  • Why is it important to check if a car has been previously used as a rental or a commercial vehicle?

    Cars used as rental or commercial vehicles may have been driven by many different drivers with varying driving habits and might have received less consistent maintenance. They may have more wear and tear than privately used cars. Checking this aspect of the vehicle’s history allows you to assess its condition more accurately.
