Bit of a car theme this week, but bear with me.

Anyone used these people for a pre-inspection?

I know it's not guaranteed or nowt, but seems worth it if it flags some things a car numpty like me would miss?

What marque of car is it?

You may have better information from a forum guru

Looks like a waste of money. Their 115 point checklist counts, for example, each wheel separately along with each spring and light...

Print if off, have a poke around and look on the road / driveway for puddles of oil or other fluids. Otherwise just make sure that all the electrical stuff works abd thst it doesn't make any weird noises on the test drive.

"Awd art yer 'and" etc etc.

Hmm. I do have access to an old sheepskin jacket. Maybe that and a few well chosen noises will be enough to make the salesmen come clean?

Kick the tyres. To look especially savvy, remove the spare (yourself) and also kick that.
