What To Look for in a Used Vehicle?

Here are the things you should check before buying a used car:

Check the Vehicle’s Mileage

As a general rule, you should assume that the average vehicle owner puts around 12,000 miles on a vehicle each year. To determine whether a vehicle has reasonable mileage, simply multiply 12,000 by its age. This means good mileage for a vehicle that is five years old is around 60,000. Significantly fewer or more miles could indicate an issue in the future.

Examine the Interior

When you open the car door, make sure to observe any disagreeable smells, as it is difficult to remove unpleasant odors. Check for damp spots on the carpet by removing the floor mats and inspect the interior areas, especially the warning lights, seating and upholstery, and amenities like air conditioning, stereo, and other electronics.

Look Under the Hood

Another important thing you should check is the vehicle’s engine. To determine if the engine is well-maintained, look under the hood for dents, rust, visible damage, or dark brown oil stains on the engine block, which may indicate a leaky oil pan gasket. Also, check for cracked or soft radiator hoses, as a damaged radiator hose could blow up and cause damage to the vehicle.

Check Vehicle and Service History

Every Hyundai has a vehicle identification number (VIN), which is the identifying code for a specific vehicle and contains valuable information about its history. You can use the vehicle’s VIN to get a history report on it. This allows you to learn about the vehicle’s previous owner, accident history, odometer readings, open recalls, and damages.
