Service history, tyre condition, even interior wear — we'll go through the details with you that reveal how well the owner looked after the car.
Buying a used car doesn't have to be a gamble. There are a few clear signs that show whether the previous owner looked after the car or neglected it. Let's go through them step by step.
Service history
A complete service book or digital records from an authorised garage are the most important clue. Regular oil changes and properly kept service intervals significantly extend the engine's lifespan. For every car in our range, we trace and verify its history.
Condition of tyres and brakes
Unevenly worn tyres can be a sign of poor wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Also keep an eye on the age of the tyres — even lightly used ones can become hard if they're older than six years.
The interior can give away the true mileage
Worn pedals, a sagging driver's seat or a smooth, polished steering wheel on a car with a low declared mileage should raise a red flag. Odometer tampering is one of the most common scams — that's why we check every car through Cebia, which reveals any inconsistencies in mileage.
Don't be afraid to ask
A trustworthy dealer will happily show you the car's history, let you have it inspected on a ramp, or bring it to your own mechanic. If something's being hidden from you, that's reason enough to be cautious. With us, transparency simply comes as standard.
