Buying a used car for son

Use vcheck.uk they check if the car has been through salvage auctions or not. Plenty of unrecorded bent motors going through Copart and getting bought up, fixed on someones driveway, and then sold on as a straight car to the unsuspecting public.

It is clearly stated in the contract that the car has not been auctioned or used as a business vehicle.

It's good enough for a successful claim with generous compensation.

Speaking as such

Most professional mechanics will not want to go anywhere near the can of worms that this scenario might present!

Can only see that being agreeable if the mechanic is a good friend of yours really.
