Connor Campbell, expert at Independent Advisor Car Insurance, said: "Before purchasing any second-hand vehicle, you should go through a checklist inspecting the car so that you don’t get any surprises once the car is yours. This includes inspecting tyres, looking for dents/scratches, looking at fluid levels, checking the electrics, looking for a spare tyre, and assessing wear and tear.”

He also recommended test driving the vehicle, checking MOT, tax and insurance costs.
