- Ensure that you have any log books and manuals that came with the car
- Get a roadworthy certificate wherever possible
- Check that the car is registered in your name and that you are legally allowed to sell it
- Do a VIN check to ensure that the vehicle isn’t under finance or a write-off in the system
