Check the operation of all electrical and electronic components, such as lights, electric windows, sound system and multimedia center.

Check the body and paintwork to identify signs of rust, scratches or dents, remembering that small imperfections may be normal, but extensive damage may indicate larger problems.

Lastly, Check the vehicle history to see if it has been involved in accidents, which can be done through vehicle history consultation services. By following these tips, you will increase the chances of making a safe and satisfactory purchase.
