✅ The Used Car Buying Checklist

Here’s a quick checklist to boost your confidence before any purchase:

• ✅ HPI check (no outstanding finance, not stolen or written off)

• ✅ Verified mileage (check against MOT history)

• ✅ Full or part service history

• ✅ V5C logbook (registered to the seller)

• ✅ MOT valid for 6+ months

• ✅ Clean and consistent condition (inside and out)

• ✅ Warranty options or mechanical inspection

• ✅ Reasonable price based on condition, year, mileage

💡 Pro Tip: A trustworthy seller will never hesitate to share this information with you. At anycolourcar.com, it’s standard practice.

🛠️ Understanding the Paperwork

V5C (Logbook)

• Confirms registered keeper

• Check VIN matches the car and service documents

Service History

• Stamps or invoices for key maintenance

• Look for timing belt, clutch, brake fluid, filters, etc.

HPI Report

• Shows if the car is:

  • On finance

  • Previously written off

  • Mileage discrepancy

📄 We provide all of this as standard — no need to chase paperwork or guess.

🔍 What to Look For During a Test Drive
