It goes without saying, a car should be test driven and properly inspected before purchase.
Whether you are buying a new or used car, help ensure that’s likely to fit your needs and budget.
Always listen out for any unusual sounds particularly when the engine
is slowing down.
Check your car engine running smoothly…
Try overtaking to check for a good acceleration and any blind spots
Go for a challenging route and don’t forget hills to see how the engine responds
See how the vehicle is responding to the brake pedal
The brakes should be smooth, progressive and responsive
Try braking hard with
more force to test the
stability in an emergency
Test the brakes by turning the engine to both
on and off mode
Steering & Handling :
Try adjusting the steering by turning both left and right corners and check
how it feels
Make sure the steering is responding quickly
Make sure there isn’t any clunking noise before the
wheels start to move.
Make sure you are getting a panoramic view of the road
Check the mirrors to get the kind of side and rear view
you need
Also check the rear visibility when backing up and the size of the rear blind zone
Better to try the test drive at night to know how well the
headlights perform
Exhaust & Noises:
A small amount of white smoke is normal but be aware of the
exhaust smoke that’s blue, overly white or black
Also check for the noises that suggest any problem with the
vehicle
You can turn off the radio and close the windows to have a
better sound effect
Some Other Tips :
Make sure you are insured
Take the proof with you to show the seller or the police in case of
any accident
During the test drive try the similar version of the car that
you want to buy
