Start by inspecting the body of the vehicle. Damage may be barely visible at first glance, but can become more noticeable on further inspection. This can often be an indicator that the vehicle may have been involved in some form of collision. It’s especially important to look for these damages in the door frames and the hood, as these may affect their ability to open properly.

Mileage is another important thing to consider when looking at used vehicles. Cars with high mileage may not last on the road much longer due to wear and tear on the engine. It can also be a red flag if an older model vehicle has lower mileage. This may be an indicator of an underlying problem that has affected its ability to function properly.
