That being said, there\u2019s also the risk of buying a car with poor quality or even accident damage when you choose pre-owned. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to know what to look out for when choosing a quality used car.

Besides looking out for large scratches and dents, there are other subtler points to examine which can give you a good idea of the car\u2019s quality.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the panel gaps:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Uneven gaps between the body panels could indicate that the car has been in an accident. It\u2019s also a sign of low-quality bodywork. Besides being unsightly, severe panel gap issues can lead to rain or wind entering the cabin. If left unsolved, they can even cause damage to other car parts such as other body panels, hinges, and tires.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the paint finish:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can tell a lot about the quality of a used car from its paint finish. Make sure the paint on the different panels (doors, fenders, or bonnet) match each other as mismatched paint could mean that a part of the car has been repainted after an accident. Also, bubbling paint spots could mean that a rushed paint job was done on a rusty spot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look out for rust:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Common rust spots include the roof, wheel arches, undercarriage, and the engine bulkhead (the panel that separates the engine bay from the passenger compartment). Be wary if there\u2019s a lot of rust as that could indicate extensive damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make sure everything works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A simple but often overlooked check when buying a used car involves checking the doors, lights, bonnet, and boot. Test each part and make sure that the doors open and lock properly, and that all lights are functioning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-inspection-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 Car Inspection Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the Tires<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many buyers don\u2019t realize that tires can tell you a lot about the quality of a used car. In fact, you can learn about the condition of the car\u2019s suspension system and owner\u2019s maintenance habits, among other things. When inspecting the tires, check for uneven wear, damage such as punctures, cuts, scratches, or bulges, tire age, and the depth of the tire treads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check a tire\u2019s age, look at the last four numbers after the \u201cDOT\u201d symbol on the tires. The first two of the numbers identify the week the tire was manufactured (ranging from \u201c01\u201d to \u201c53\u201d), while the last two numbers identify the manufacture year. For example, a tire with the information \u201cDOT XXXX XXX <\/span><b>2120<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d was manufactured in the 21st week of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28302 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tire-age.jpg\" alt=\"code on tire sidewall\" width=\"717\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tire-age.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tire-age-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tire-age-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tire-age-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<em>Image source: edmunds.com<\/em>]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/used-car-tires\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tires: How to Tell a Good Used Car from a Bad One<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine the Engine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another vital check when buying a used car is on the engine. Checking the engine can seem intimidating but is actually pretty straightforward. Here are some basic checks you should carry out:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the fluid levels:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First, <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/how-to-check-car-fluids-oil\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check that the fluids<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (engine oil, radiator coolant, brake fluid, transmission oil) are at the correct level and are clean. Make sure that there are no leaks around the engine and nothing leaking to the floor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the battery connections:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the battery connections are corroded, it could be a sign of leaking battery fluid, overcharging, or simply an old battery. The corrosion on the battery terminals can be fixed by cleaning them and putting in a new battery, but you should also check the battery cables for damage as it\u2019s common alongside corroded terminals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look at the overall engine condition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look at the hoses, wires, wire clamps, nuts, and bolts in the engine compartment. Make sure they\u2019re all in good shape, ie. they\u2019re not brittle, stiff, and not held together with tape. If you spot nuts, bolts, or screws that are new or look out of place, it\u2019s worth identifying why they were replaced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test the Air Conditioning &amp; Other Interior Features<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you\u2019ll be spending most of your time inside the car, it\u2019s important to inspect the condition and test the interior features of the car. Turn on the engine and test all the switches and knobs including the air conditioning, USB charging port, wipers, power windows, cabin lights, hazard lights, instrument panel lights, and infotainment system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also look out for <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-warning-lights-what-they-mean-part-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">warning lights<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the instrument cluster and have them addressed by the seller. The interior trim such as the carpet, fabric, and leather upholstery greatly influences the comfort and quality of a used car. Therefore, be sure to check the headliner, door panels, carpets, dashboard, and seats for signs of moisture or mold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28300 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1.png\" alt=\"Woman adjusting rearview mirror\" width=\"831\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1.png 831w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot_43-1-696x463.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take It for a Thorough Test Drive\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you take the car for a test drive, check that start-up and idling are smooth, and that there are no odd sounds coming from the engine. When on the road, look out for engine jerking, misfiring, or weird sounds. Also, make sure that the steering and suspension are working smoothly, and of course, test the brakes. It\u2019s also important to look out for any burning smell as this could mean serious issues with the engine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These checks might look simple, but they are a proven way to catch most issues in a used car.
