You could try:-

and type 'what to look for' into the site search. For some reason what it went to(the most comprehensive list you could wish for) did not get added to the url above. Good luck and hopefully, welcome!

Pat,

It's probably a very pretty car and just what you really, really want so the first thing to look for is your heart ruling your head. Don't let that happen.

Apart from any mechanical, trim or bodywork stuff, if the service history is not complete in every respect and not every MOT certificate is to hand - WALK AWAY.

Pat,

Make sure that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as this is due when the car is 5 years old.

Nobody buys an F with their head.

Adam - my 5 year old F is in mint condition, but I don't keep my old MOT's!

Good luck Pat!

Check the more obscure services have been attended to. If the grease nipples on the suspension have not been done it's a reasonable indicator that someone has been cutting corners.
