Description
The used car market is gigantic and it has never been easier to find what you are look-ing for. This is largely due to the fact that it is now possible to browse cars for sale everywhere in the country and even abroad by looking online. Whilst the size of the market has its advantages, it does also mean that there are a lot of fraudulent sellers and used car scams to be aware of.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from fraudulent sellers is to get a vehicle his-tory check carried out. An HPI check can uncover any hidden secrets about the auto-mobile which the seller could be attempting to conceal. Here are a few ways that a history check will provide protection and peace of mind.
Ensures the Car is Legal
A history check involves checking with the police if the car is reported as stolen and whether or not it has been cloned. It can also help to identify a cut n shut (two or more cars assembled together) by checking that the VIN number matches that of the log-book.
No Outstanding Finance
Fraudulent sellers will often attempt to get rid of their debt by selling a car which has outstanding finance on it. The finance is attached to the automobile and not the owner, so it is crucial that you make sure there is no outstanding finance. Otherwise, the lend-er could repossess the car after you have purchased it and leave you out of pocket and carless.
Safe to Drive
Automobiles which have been recorded as scrapped should not be on the road and those that have previously been written off can be incredibly unsafe to drive. These checks will ensure that the vehicle in question has never been scrapped or written off so that you know that it is safe to drive.
Avoid Clocking
Clocking is the oldest used car scam in the book. It can be very difficult to tell if a car has been clocked just by looking at it, which is why it is important to check the vehi-cle’s correct mileage. History checks can figure out any discrepancies by looking at the MOT history which will indicate whether or not the current reading is accurate.
Fraudulent sellers succeed in the second-hand car market by selling automobiles that have a dark past which they have managed to conceal. Not only can this cost you a lot of money, it can also be incredibly dangerous as you could drive away with a car that should not be on the roads.

FAQs
When should I check the transmission fluid?
You should check the transmission fluid regularly. Try to check it at least once a month or at the sign of any trouble, for instance if there is any hesitation when you shift gears in an automatic.
How do I check the transmission fluid?
It’s not hard to check your transmission fluid if the vehicle is an automatic. This link to the Dummies guide to checking your transmission fluid has step-by-step instructions and illustrations that show you where to locate the dipstick. What you want is clear, pink transmission fluid. If it is low, top it up. If it is dark, smells burnt or has bits in it then you need to get it changed by at a reliable auto repair shop.
Is it really that important to check the transmission fluid?
Yes, it can be. Often times the symptoms you’ll experience from low or dirty transmission fluid will be the same as transmission problems. If you check the fluid levels regularly and refill as necessary then you’ll know if there are any symptoms of trouble that it’s not because the fluid levels are low and you need to see a mechanic.
Are there different types of transmission fluid?
How do I know what to buy? Yes, there are many different types of transmission fluid, each designed for a certain transmission. Different vehicles require different transmission fluids and the age of the car can also be a factor because newer transmissions take different types of transmission fluids than older vehicles. Don’t guess! Find out which type of transmission fluid is required for your vehicle by checking your owner’s manual.
What is a transmission flush and should I get one?
A transmission flush is used by some auto repair shops with the goal of flushing out debris. Auto Tech does not do any sort of transmission flush. Flushing an older transmission can cause harmful sediment to get stuck in the solenoids of the transmission. We heavily favor regular maintenance to lengthen the life of your transmission. We service the transmission by changing fluid and the filter and do not recommend having your transmission flushed.
How do I know I have a fluid leak from the transmission?
Transmission fluid is slightly pink in color – it will appear pink or red, or possibly more brownish if the transmission fluid is dirty and needs to be replaced. When you feel transmission fluid it will be slick and oily on your fingers. It smells much like oil unless it is dirty, in which case it will smell burnt. Usually transmission fluid leaks around the front or middle of your vehicle, so if you find puddles of reddish liquid there it is probably transmission fluid. Another clue is if in addition to the leak your transmission is not working well and you notice changes in the way it sounds when you shift gears, or if shifting gears is not working as well. In this case you likely have a leak of transmission fluid that is impacting how your transmission operates.
