Tires: <\/strong>You can tell a lot from the tires of a car. A car that has clocked less than 20,000 miles will probably have its original tires. Thus, be wary of low-mileage vehicles that have new tires. Also, check that all four tires are from the same manufacturer. To check whether the tires have been periodically rotated, check the drive wheels. If they haven\u2019t been rotated, the wear will be more severe on the front wheels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accident-Avoidance Systems:<\/strong> Learn more about the safety and driver-assistance systems available in your chosen model. Undertake a thorough inspection of these by taking the car on a test drive. Accident-avoidance systems protect you and give you the confidence to drive on any terrain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbags and Head Restraints:<\/strong> It\u2019s pertinent that the car has functional airbags and head restraints if there is an accident. Most new models come with dual front airbags as standard. But if you\u2019re looking for more protection, look for a used car that offers an advanced airbag system. Meanwhile, head restraints protect you and your passengers against whiplash injuries in the unfortunate event of a rear-end collision.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child Safety:<\/strong> Most used car models come with the Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system. Make sure to see if your child\u2019s safety seat fits into this system before you purchase the used car.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
