Check the underside of the hood

When inspecting a used car, users need to carefully observe the area under the hood. If the car shows signs of dents or patches, it is possible that the car has been in a collision during previous use. Users should also check the small round holes on the hood frame. If this area is dented or deformed, it means that the hood has been repaired.

In addition, users also need to check the seam glue. When pressing your hand on the seam glue inside the hood, if the seam glue is not elastic or makes a sound, there may be a hole, proving that this area has been peeled off and re-glued.

Check the body panels carefully.

When buying a used car, you can check the bumpers, door panels, and fenders for uneven paint. Check for poor paint. You can even run your hand over the panel seams. Make sure nothing sticks out or is out of alignment. This is also a way to tell if the used car has been in an accident.

Check the trunk: CheckChecking the trunk is also one of the ways to know if the car has been in an accident from behind. Users can lift up the trunk mat to observe every small detail, especially the corners, check if the two sides are symmetrical, if there are any bumps or signs of collision.
