What should I check when buying a damaged car on Gumtree in Northern Ireland?

Thoroughly inspect the vehicle for the extent of the damage. Check the engine, chassis, and suspension for hidden issues. Obtain a vehicle history report (e.g., from HPI) to check for previous accidents or if it's been written off. Be aware that repairing a damaged vehicle can be costly and time-consuming, so factor this into your offer.

What legal considerations are there when buying a damaged car in the UK?

Ensure the seller is the legal owner of the vehicle and has the right to sell it. Check that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) matches the V5C registration document. If the car has been previously written off, it may require a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) before it can be returned to the road. Be aware of your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which may apply even to damaged vehicles.

How can I assess the cost of repairing a damaged car?

Get quotes from multiple reputable mechanics or body shops before committing to purchase. Be specific about the damage and ask for a detailed breakdown of the estimated costs for parts and labour. Factor in potential hidden costs, such as corrosion or further damage discovered during the repair process.

What documentation should I obtain when buying a damaged car?

Obtain the V5C registration document, any service history, and a written receipt detailing the sale price and any agreed-upon terms. If the car has been repaired previously, ask for documentation of the repairs. Ensure the seller provides a clear description of the damage in writing to avoid future disputes.

What are the safety considerations when buying a damaged car?

Prioritise your safety and the safety of others. Ensure that any repairs are carried out to a high standard by qualified professionals. Check that all safety features, such as airbags and seatbelts, are functional after the repairs. Consider the impact of the damage on the car's structural integrity and handling, and whether it is safe to drive even after repairs.
