Mileage

While it’s important to consider the age of a vehicle when purchasing pre-owned, mileage is often more informative. It tells you how hard the vehicle was driven and can give insight into which parts and systems will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. When purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, you typically want to look for a car with lower mileage.

History of Service and Accidents

You also want to pay close attention to any history available for the vehicle. While you don’t necessarily need to write off cars with previous accidents, it’s useful to know how much of your budget to set aside for future repair and replacement needs. The more comprehensive a service history a vehicle has, the better it was cared for and the longer it will last, so you also want to look at the vehicle’s history of service and maintenance.

Rust or Corrosion

While not all damage to a vehicle or its parts is a dealbreaker, you want to look closely for rust or corrosion when you purchase pre-owned. Rust can be difficult to repair and prevent from spreading, and future service and repair needs can be quite costly. If you notice rust or corrosion, move on to the next model.
