Cazoo - What to check in first week?

[relicalpha]

Hi,

What should you do during the initial 7-day 'easy' return period? I was obviously planning to max the 200 mile test drive allowance to check it drives ok and doens't die etc

Any advice on other things to check or be careful with? They say it was serviced in June which I guess I need to verify (service book), and has manufacture warranty until summer 2023. First MOT isn't needed yet, but is it worth paying for a service in the first week? Or maybe one of the AA/RAC inspection reports? Or if visual inspection and test driving goes ok, am I likely to be ok with a relatively new car like this from them?

Thanks

If you have a good relationship with an independent garage, consider paying them for an hour to do a decent inspection - so you can get rid if you need to.

I'd probably me more inclined to take it to a bodyshop.

The reason being that I can't see many things being mechanically wrong on a 2020 car, but it might have had a bump.


A decent shop will be able to give it a 10-20 minute look over and tell you whether there are any signs of:

1. A bump
2. A dodgy repair
