AoA!
1. Check the outer body of the car. C if it is painted or has some body work. Like knock the body and listen to its sound. if painted then sound will be like knocking a hard board sheet otherwise like metal sheet. Check that the groove on the doors are inline. space on both sides of the fonrt hood is equal. observe the lights, the window glasses and wind screen as the orginal has a stamp on it. these checks will surely help u to conclude if the car has had any accident.
2. Open the front hood and check its seals.
3. Start the car and observe its running.
4. Go for a drive and listen to the sounds when the car passes a rough patch on the road. check if some sound from suspension comes.
5. Ask the owner for any service records.
6. buying single owned car is recomended i.e not too many owners.
7. Last but not the least, leave the rest to Allah.
