Whenever you’re looking for a second-hand Vauxhall Aberdeen, whether it’s an Astra or Corsa, you should always take a series of steps before agreeing to anything. Many people choose to pay a small fee for a full history check before they hand over their cash. A check will help you to establish whether a car is being sold legally or not and whether it has existing finance on it. You should always view any car in daylight and in dry conditions in order to look for any faults that may not have been pointed out to you, and you should never decide upon a purchase without taking a test drive first. You’ll need to ensure that the car has been taken for its MOT whenever due, and that a full service history is in place. Never be afraid to ask to speak to previous owners if you’re feeling cautious either. Previous owners should provide you with impartial and accurate information about the car’s life during its time in their ownership.
Look for help and advice
If you don’t feel confident about going it alone, you can always ask a more experienced driver to view the car with you. The V5C document is incredibly important too, and this includes details that need to match up with the information found on and within the car. The person selling you the car should be named on the document too. If they are not named on it, you should find out why. Without a reasonable explanation, it can be advisable to walk away from the deal and look for alternatives.
When to walk away
The Vehicle Identification Number found on the V5C certificate should be the same number that you see on the base of windscreen, under the driver’s seat and under the bonnet. If this is not the case, you should again walk away. If any faults that you find have not been explained to you, alarm bells should ring. Nonetheless, most dealers have a reputation to protect and are unlikely to engage in bad practices. For this reason, many people choose to approach dealers rather than private sellers when they’re looking for a Vauxhall Aberdeen.
