With the insurance, you mention it near the end of the process, I would get a quote from an insurance company beforehand so you know the rough cost before purchasing the vehicle. It could save any nasty surprises on the day if the quotes are suspiciously high

Great video. One thing I would also note (as it’s been a pain for me in past experiences) is if you’re spending a few thousand pounds on a bank transfer, then let your bank know before hand you’ll be planning to making the payment. Sometimes your bank might block the transfer of large amounts as it will be flagged as an unusual payment and they’ll want to check it’s not fraudulent. Not an ideal situation to be in when the paperwork is done you’re about to receive the keys. Thanks for the great content.
As a Canadian now living in the UK looking to buy my first car, ironically this, and not actually driving, is what I was most worried about. This advice has been great and essentially taught me that for peace of mind to go through a dealership. :)
Don't forget to check the airbags all work when you crash it on the test drive. Incredibly helpful video, thanks
Matt, I'm new in the UK. Having arrived here from India, the road rules are quite similar however I was clueless about the used car purchase process. Your videos and this one in particular have been a revelation for me. Sincerely thanks for packing such sound practical advise in such a lovely package. I followed your direction and ended up picking a beautiful Ford Fiesta with a 1.0 ecoboost. I just used your link for a car vertical report and was thrilled to see the authenticity and genuine care the vehicle has had. I love this transparency in buying cars in the UK. Thank you once again for your knowledge and wisdom. The best content in this domain on UA-cam without a doubt !!
On inspection part you missed probably MOST IMPORTANT part, opening the bonnet and check:
I think the length and content of this video is what makes it so good. You get all the key information across succinctly and keep the video short to make it engaging. Really appreciate the hard work.
This is the exact type of content that is needed thank you!
That was wonderful Matt I know when I got my 1st car I could have done with that advice. Excellent as always man 👍
Another great video. Covers it very well. You pack a lot of info into a short presentation but deliver it in an engaging and entertaining manner. Top job.
Hi Matt - what a great video for any first time buyer. As you say, certain TV programmes can lull the unwary into a false sense of how to buy (Wheeler Dealers) and especially if this is your first experience of buying a used car. Good solid advice from someone who knows their trade. Thankyou sir!
Love this channel. I like your honest style and all the videos are interesting. I’m certainly no petrol head, I’m someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars. I had bad used cars in the past and became tired of failing MOT’s, since then have allowed myself to be ripped off on leasing deals on new vehicles on the assumption I’d have 3 years of no issues. This channel has inspired me to buy a used car for our next vehicle rather than paying £200+ a month like so many people (I realise that’s probably £300+ a month now) thanks
Great video Matt as always. The issue I have been caught out by if you are buying from a private seller and they have SORN'd the car due to them not using it, the DVLA won't allow you to tax the car online even if you are insured and the vehicle is MOT'd! You need to go to the Post Office to tax it, which can be difficult if it's a Sunday afternoon. Absolute madness :)
Great stuff. I took mum to get a replacement car about a month ago and thankfully figured out enough of this to get a fair price for what seems so far to be pretty much solid for what we were going for. The only real bit of haggling was on making sure we had something on the part ex and knowing we wanted to leave with the vehicle by that point made that easier. My own car came with a not too cheap air con issue which I haven't yet resolved but it fell outside ability to resolve through a complaint, but to be honest the rest of the car has been great! And that one I'd only seen on pictures up till taking delivery of it.
this video is actually great. Its a topic that does need explaining but nobody seems to. Top stuff. Love the channel
Brilliant video as always Matt and even though us blokes think we know everything about cars you raise all the points everyone should know…….a great video that will now sit on the internet forever and safeguard people when buying cars 😎👌
Another great video Matt. It really is a minefield buying a 2nd hand car. But great advice.👍
A quick note to say I've been enjoying your videos/reviews for a while. I am currently looking for a second "runaround " car and appreciated your discount. Keep up the great work 👍🏻🥂
You are such a good bloke Matt ! There are people out there wouldn't have a clue ! love your videos !
