What Do the Seals of a Used Car Reveal?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

Video tutorial

In this video, see what the seals of a used car can tell us about its age and condition. We see the example with a German vehicle, therefore with good quality plastics and seals: few miles but used in a truly careless manner: for example, the seal at the entry of the driver's door is very worn.

However, if we had noticed a new seal and the plastic part of the seat 'marked' by a shoe, this should make us think that the seal has been replaced. The seals of the other doors and that of the boot are still practically new. This indicates that the vehicle has only been used by the driver.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
