How best to check over a second hand car?

Filed under: mileage

The question

What second hand car check options are there? The AA has a physical car check facility for €260 but are there any others to choose from and are they good? I have seen a few online car checkers but they don't seem to do a physical inspection only a paper trail.

Thanks again in advance.

Hi Sharon,

There are indeed others although the car has to be brought to one of a network of nationwide test centres for some. Or you could engage the services of a professional vehicle assessor, but that might be a prohibitively expensive option.

A good place to start is Cartell.ie
