Tips for buying a used car
1. Determine which car is right for you
Buying a used car couldn’t be easier with Carwow. We offer a great selection of used cars from many of the UK’s leading dealers to suit every need and budget. With our easy-to-use filters, you can narrow down your search based on car type, seating capacity, fuel type, transmission, and more - helping you find the perfect car without the hassle.
2. Conduct a thorough vehicle history check
Found a used car you love? Before buying, it’s important to check its history, including accident history, ownership, and maintenance records, all of which can impact the car’s condition and value.
Most used cars on Carwow have undergone a basic history check, highlighting important details such as whether the car has been exported, imported, or written off. You can see this in the ‘Car History’ tab in our used car listings.
Our car check shows you a car's history for free. For extra peace of mind, you can unlock a full detailed background check for just £3.99, including information on whether it’s been stolen, written off, or has outstanding finance.
3. Schedule an inspection and test drive
Once you’ve found a used car you like, we recommend scheduling a test drive to assess its performance. Pay attention to how it drives, the steering response, and any unusual sounds from the engine or brakes.
Also inspect the car for mechanical issues or signs of wear, such as uneven tyre wear, rust, fluid leaks, and check that the brakes, lights, air conditioning, and electrical systems are working properly. A test drive and inspection will help you gauge the car’s condition before making your decision.
It’s also worth asking what used car warranties dealers offer; some of our trusted dealers also offer 14-day money back guarantees.
