Which year model would that be?, well the first thing i would say is to check if it has any issues possibly, would need more information, such as which year it is, fuel variant (whether petrol or diesel?)

It's a 2017, petrol, as far as i have checked with the dealer, seems like a Direct Injection and pretty good in shape so far, I don't know what i should be looking for though

oh ok , nice one, petrol is best usually, so have you gone for a number plate check yet?, you will get to know how many owners it has had and what not.
Highly advised:
1. Check Valuation - here's a link i found, (https://cardotcheck.co.uk/car-valuation), might be useful
2. Find a Number Plate - this is something you should check for sure (https://cardotcheck.co.uk/number-plate-check)

There are a lot of things yuo should get to know, do check if its been scrapped eh?

[Maisie Williams]

thanks, will surely check

Things like buying a used car requires several things hun’ , check for previous car owner, DI huh? , what else do you know about the car?.....One of the main stuff would be to check if the chassis is fine and if there have been any accidents so far……. Why is the car going on sale? If you can ask this, please do.

here’s a link I thought you might wanna take a peak at : https://cardotcheck.co.uk/car-owner-check

[Maisie Williams]

sure thanks emma, hey this seems nice, looks like there is some offer goin on as well in there, supposedly there have been no accidents so far and I have checked a bit of information for valuation as well

First check out the car registration, it gives you clarity on weather the car has the authentic VIN as per the v5c records

[carolus]

First check out the market value of car, and a <a href=https://cardotcheck.co.uk/car-valuation>free car valuation</a> and the usage, weather it is one handed or many ?

check here if you want: https://cardotcheck.co.uk/car-valuation

And One more thing maisie, when you buy this car you must check whether the car has proper logbooks and insurance payoffs and the important thing is to check if car is stolen
here i found a site for to check a car you intend to buy is stolen or not.
