pre-purchase inspection
Before buying a used car, you can have a trusted mechanic look over it to make sure there are no major issues. This helps avoid surprises after the purchase.
A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough check performed by an independent mechanic or service before buying a used car, looking for hidden problems such as rust, engine wear, or prior accidents.
