INSPECTION OF A USED MINI CAR

Buying a used mini car requires a thorough inspection, to check for any hidden snags or any irregularities in the cars functioning. The test drive is also an important part of inspecting the mini car. However, even before the test drive, you should do an inspection of the used mini cars exterior. The used mini cars current condition, as you find out from the inspection, should be according to what the seller has informed you about the car. Also, the used mini car’s condition as it is now should be in proportion to what it was when it was new.


There are many specific things you must look for when conducting an inspection of a used mini car. The first rule is that you must always have the inspection done in day light, as this gives you the exact condition of the used mini car. The first thing to look for during inspection is whether the used mini car has any rust or rust bubbles in it. Rust is the cars greatest enemy, and is very difficult to repair completely.


The first place to start while having a used mini car inspection is the underside of the car. The floor plans, the metal railings along the car’s perimeter, etc must be checked for rust; and also look for any part that has been newly replaced or has a marked difference from other parts. This might indicate that the used mini car has had an accident or has had some part repaired, and you must check for this during the inspection.


The used mini car inspection is not complete without checking the tyres. If the tyres are not in good condition, you might find ridges on them, which will indicate any harsh use or use of old tyres. Last but not the least; the used mini car inspection is completed by a thorough walk around the car, looking to see if you can spot any irregularities, or any signs of damage.
