- Suspension: listen for clunks over bumps, look for leaking struts and uneven tire wear.
- Visibility: test the wipers at every speed, washers, defrosters and the climate system (fogging is a common complaint).
- Body: look under the car for rust or damaged subframe and rocker areas, and check panel gaps for signs of repair.
