Expert shares vital questions to ask when buying a second hand car

Whether the reason behind purchasing a used car is cost, quality or convenience, the UK's interest in second hand motors is far from showing signs of waning. In fact, in the last year alone there has been an 83 per cent increase in searches for ‘what to ask when buying a used car’.

The cost of living crisis at present is forcing people to sack off the finance and buy a cheap little run-around outright, as they struggle to make ends meet in other sectors - with food and energy costs spiralling out of control. And while it might be cheaper in the long-run, buying a used motor is still a significant financial commitment.

So it's essential to be prepared for the process when the time comes to scour AutoTrader, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or your local dealership - knowing the right questions to ask so you can ensure you're getting a good deal.
