Buying a used car
Most car sellers are genuine, whether it is a private sale or through a garage. However, some traders are not genuine and may sell stolen cars.
You can protect yourself by following the advice below.
- Contact an organisation, such as the AA, who will be able to tell you whether the vehicle has been stolen or in a crash.
- Always arrange to meet the person selling the car at their house, not at your house or at another meeting place.
- Check any security etchings to make sure they match and have not been removed.
- Always check the registration documents and service history.
