1. Clean and beautify the exterior and interior
After long-term use, most of the interiors of second-hand cars There will be odor, mold, stains, etc. Deodorizing and disinfecting the interior must be effective and thorough. Since it is not just about cleaning and dusting, Xiao Mushroom recommends that you should not be cheap at this time and try to choose a regular car 4S shop or beauty shop. This can maximize the guarantee of service quality.
2. Check whether the tires and spare tires have been overused
When inspecting the tires, you can tap the tread with a wooden stick. If it is obvious that the rubber has lost its elasticity, then It can basically be judged that the rubber has hardened and deteriorated. The hardened tires can easily cause traffic accidents due to insufficient grip, so they can no longer be used even if the tread pattern is clear. In addition, if the service life of the tires exceeds 5 years, they will also need to be replaced with new tires.
3. Check whether the braking system is intact
It is necessary to observe the thickness of the brake pads and whether there are obvious chamfers or cracks on the brake disc. Usually the thickness of a new brake pad is generally about 1.5cm, which is equivalent to two iPhone 6S falling together. The thickness of the brake pads will gradually become thinner with constant friction during use. When it is found that the brake pads have worn to one-third of their original thickness, which is less than the thickness of "three overlapping one-dollar coins", the brake pads at this time cannot be used normally.
