Review service evidence, MOT history, tyres, warning lights, bodywork, keys and documents.
Whole-life cost
Include insurance, tax, fuel, servicing, finance interest and likely maintenance.

Test access, comfort, visibility, luggage space and controls against your actual needs.
Dealer support
Confirm preparation, warranty details, collection arrangements and who to contact after purchase.
