  1. www.caranalytics.co.uk Beware Of These Four Used Car Faults In 2021

  2. 1. Used Car Faults with suspension components: • Suspension issues are hard to diagnose. You cannot simply inspect the suspension system of a used car by just jiggling in the seats. The only way through which you can get to know about the problem in the suspension system is by taking the used car to test rides to different destinations such as speed bumps and rough surfaces that reveal the actual condition. When it actually needs your attention? If you find any of these faults, you should ask the seller more about the car info and its condition. • If you feel any difficulty in the steering, then there is a problem with the suspension system. • Handling the vehicle feels a little tricky when compared to other vehicles. • When you hear any unusual noise or knocks whenever the car moves in a bump. • Sometimes even the most reliable used car will suffer a mechanical problem; hence it is essential to know the car details in advance. www.caranalytics.co.uk

  3. 2. Faults with the used car batteries: Battery issues are easily identifiable as a used car faults, so it is better to fix it early enough before the car won’t start. One simple tip to check the battery condition of any used vehicle is to put the key in and start the car. Suppose if the car is in the garage for a very long time and does not taken care properly, there are chances that the battery becomes inactive. Also, this pandemic paved the way for the same where vehicles use is significantly less, and the winter too accompanied it. So make this a habit that you start the vehicle and foresee the condition of the battery. The other symptom that indicates the battery is not in the condition is the age of the battery. With ageing, the efficiency of charging the battery also decrease; through this, you can know if the car is too old to buy. This battery check comes as a part of your MOT test, and if you go through the MOT history of the used vehicle, it is clear about your battery and other parts of the vehicle. A free car check from car analytics helps you to know the complete MOT history of the vehicle along with the age of the used vehicle. www.caranalytics.co.uk

  4. 3. Emission details of the vehicle: • The common issues that every used car buyers face are the emission and exhaust problems from the used vehicle. Visible smoke from the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is a sign of an underlying issue, and it needs significant concern. Sometimes you can spot two different colours of the smoke. • The blue colour smoke indicates the problem with the engine. If the oil is burning inside the machine, it happens. If the valve seals are entirely worn out, the oil starts to leak through the combustion chamber, which causes this reaction. It is a lousy warning that the piston rings and parts of the engine became too old and repaired as early as possible. If the used vehicle seems to release such toxic blue smokes, it is better to avoid them. • The black colour smoke from the vehicle indicates that the used car is burning so much fuel. Black smoke has so many reasons, and one among them is the fuel rate. Sometimes it is caused by the air filter or faulty fuel injector. Though it is an easy issue to fix, make sure you are not going with a used car with such potential risk factors. • Make sure the used vehicle you are picking is not a high emission one by knowing the emission details of the vehicle through a car check. www.caranalytics.co.uk

  5. 4. Air conditioning of the used cars: One of the issues that come from the car’s air conditioning system is the loss of cooling. The regular use of the vehicle keeps the aircon free from faults and also minimises the bacteria formation in the ventilation system. Re-gas is the option that increases the cooling of the aircon that automatically refreshes the coolants. If the air-con is not proper even after the re-gas, then it is a problem with the whole air-con unit which is quite expensive. So be cautious and purchase with utmost care. Usually, the air-con faults do not come under an MOT test, but you can make this check by just starting the vehicle. Else you can get to know the car service history that reveals the air-con system’s condition. But most of the regular car service not necessarily includes the air-con system as a part of it. So make sure you check them in prior. www.caranalytics.co.uk
