Buying a second-hand vehicle can be fraught with peril even when the vehicle comes with a Roadworthy Certificate. You can never be sure what condition the vehicle is in or what repairs it may need in the near future. Whether you are doing a vehicle swap, buying a vehicle from friends, family or from strangers or on the internet it is hard to know if a vehicle is worth what it is being sold for. If you’re buying a used vehicle it makes sense to have a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. Get an expert opinion on the current state of the vehicle and the heads up on any repairs that are required or likely to be required in the future.
