Bodywork and Exterior
When viewing the vehicle, the owner should have gone out of their way to ensure the vehicle is presentable and looking its best. Checking over the bodywork for any signs of rust or different shades of paintwork is essential as this will show if the vehicle has been looked after or had any nocks or bumps.
If a vehicle does need some attention to the bodywork, ask yourself why the owner has not completed the work. Quite often the line you get is 'I haven't had time' or 'it will only cost a few pound to fix' if this was the case why hasn't the owner spent that few pounds on fixing it.
Check the tyres; they should have a good level of tread which is being warned at an equal pace over the full width of the tyre.
