In my experience, while they do identify the really obvious points, such companies also list a catalogue of other items that are enough to put you off any car - just to cover themselves legally.

Id ask if a knowledgeable forum member would be happy to view a car with you and buy them a pint or something. Youll get a much better opinion that way.

yeh ^^ like above, and you could possibly get a hpi check done on here too

Depends on age of car as to the price, for a car less than 7 years old, The AA is £99 or £199, The £99 is more than enough and includes a HPI check. Yes they do list every fault but as long as you sensible and remember you are buying a second hand car that aint gonna be perfect then you gonna be fine. If you spending a couple of grand its a small price to pay for peace of mind and someone else checking it over for stuff that you may miss!!

The AA dont do them anymore.

I used RAC and they were bloody superb. Didnt miss a thing and they are not the guys who tow you away if you break down - these guys are properly trained.

I did pay £170 for it, but was worth every penny.
