How To Spot A Clocked Car
Hobbies : Cars And Motoring Always check the service history and inspect all documents thoroughly. The more documents it has, the more genuine its likely to be. Look out for stamps from genuine dealers, as these prove work carried out has been professional. Make sure you can trace each back to an individual garage. Get a HPI check – it only costs £20 but will tell you lots more info so its worth it. Double check the mileage when you go to collect it. Fraudsters can wind back mileage to a lower level to try and get the price of the car up so be aware of this. Do this before you hand over any cash. Talk to the previous owner and see if everything matches. Look for general wear and tear such as worn steering wheels and seats, or damaged or loose interior, as these show the car is quite old or has been used a lot. Always trust your judgement and ask a professional or a friend to give further advice if needed. If something is suspicious then report it to the police.
