AHMEDABAD, India - March 9, 2023 - PRLog -- Buying a used car in Europe is a great opportunity to transfer to a vehicle in good technical condition, with excellent performance, and at the same time save money. About what attracts cars with European registration, how to check the mileage of a car from Europe – in our article.

Why buying a car in Europe remains relevant

If somewhere, cars are sold because of their unsatisfactory technical condition, then in Europe they most often do this in the desire to become the owner of a new model. That is why you have every chance to become the owner of a car that is externally and technically in perfect condition:

●       Price. Even with many overhead costs, including the auction commission, customs duties, transportation costs, etc., buying a car in Europe is cheaper than at home.

●       Technical condition. The most popular cars in the secondary market are those that served the previous owner for 4–5 years.

●       Range. The choice of cars in the European secondary market is really great. Here you can buy a car of almost any brand, model, and configuration.

●       Equipment. This is another reason for the popularity of European cars.

How to check car mileage: all options

Firstly, try to match the mileage that is listed in the ad with the technical condition of the car. Occasionally, a visual inspection is enough for this, but the error, in this case, can be huge.

Next, pay attention to the hood and bumper. Under the oncoming wind, they are under a massive load. Crushed stone, grains of sand, insects – these are just a small part of what the appearance of the hood and bumper can suffer from.

If the car is not new, and there are no chips on the bumper and hood, then they were painted.

The most reliable and fastest way to check the real mileage of a car is to study its history by the VIN code. Checking a car from Europe by VIN Code (http://checkcar.vin/page/vin-check-europe) is performed using a special service. You will also have access to the following information:

●       status (the presence of restrictions on the operation of the car);

●       insured events;

●       participation in traffic accidents (helps to identify hidden defects and damage);

●       equipment (initial equipment and its changes during operation);

●       the number of owners;

●       operating conditions of the car (for example, in cargo and passenger transportation).

Free and paid versions of the reports are available in the online VIN check service. The paid report contains extended information from many sources, after analyzing which it is possible to conclude the advisability of buying a car.
