 25% of used cars
found to be 'Dangerous' |
A major UK motoring organisation conducted a survey
in November 2005 by analysing 500 of its vehicle
inspection reports and found 18% of the cars had at
least one dangerous fault, with a further 4% classed
as illegal. This would amount to more than 40% of
cars up for sale failing an MoT test.
Among the faults found - described as "very
worrying" - were badly or unevenly worn tyres, fuel
leaks, damaged brakes and uneven steering
In the wake of these Surveys
'wheretobuycarsfrom.com' has launched a exclusive
new service for buying privately owned vehicles
which will dramatically reduce the costs that can
occur when choosing to buy this way, enabling buyers
to take full advantage of private sellers prices.
Colin Robinson, head of wheretobuycarsfrom.com
marketing said "Vehicle inspections are essential
for peace of mind when spending more than £3000 on a
used car but can be expensive if the vehicle turns
out to have excessive faults which are impractical
to have repaired.
"wheretobuycarsfrom.com's Premium service has
eliminated this risk by passing over the cost of the
inspection to the seller and providing a searchable
database of cars for sale which have been
inspected."
Reducing the costs of inspections
As well as offering standard and basic advertising
wheretobuycarsfrom.com also offer an competitively
priced inspection service which like their Premium
selling service, provides the inspection report
online.
Mr Robinson also said " Our inspections are carried
out by highly experienced mechanics who are
contracted by us as they are with other major
inspection service providers. We reduce the cost of
our services to the customer by solely providing
inspection services and online advertising which
minimises our outlay on staff , premises and
equipment."
As sales of new cars fell by 5% in December last
year due to interest rates and uncertainty in the
wider economy this new concept for advertising
privately owned used cars and providing excellent
value vehicle inspections is a much needed service
for buyers to take advantage of the reduced prices
offered by private sellers. |
