Part: Body

Video tutorial

If you decide to buy a used vehicle and visit a used car dealership, you can be sure that you will not see poorly maintained cars, but only shiny and well-kept vehicles. So how can you be sure that those cars have not been repainted or even damaged? The registration plate can help you understand what has happened to the vehicle.

If it has been re-registered, that should raise suspicion and prompt you to ask why; otherwise, if the plate is damaged or re-stamped, it means the vehicle has sustained damage. Conversely, a plate in good condition indicates that the vehicle has been well cared for. Also, check that the make of the headlights is the same.

This will indicate that there have been no replacements; evaluate the degree of opacity of the polycarbonate headlights, the alignment of the bonnets, the centring of the doors, and the colour tone across all parts. Always inspect the vehicle during the day, never in the evening.
