You found a potential car. Private buy.
You gone down to look at it. What things do you check for to see if it's all cushty? Neccessary to take a mechanic with you?

Tbh, private or not, you need to have an idea of what your looking for.
Garages aren't going to tell you if some things wrong with the car. When i brought mine, even though it was from a garage, I asked to look at the log book, look at the milage, previous owners, check for any bumps or scratches and stuff.

first of all check when the m.o.t is due, log book, what changes have been made etc.
then just do general checks i.e. rust at the bottom of the car, take it for a quick drive etc. if you want to go into further detail search google, im sure fifth gear or sumut like that have a guide to it

Do an AA Vehicle check. Costs about £15 but you find out whether the cars had a dodgy past. i.e. been an accident and reconstructed.
