The Federal Trade Commission recommends test-driving a used car under varied road conditions, including hills, highways and stop-and-go traffic. Use this checklist along the way:
| System | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Cold start | Start the engine cold. Heavy blue exhaust smoke can signal burning oil; thick white smoke can point to a coolant leak or head gasket problem. |
| Transmission | Accelerate gradually through each gear. Shifts should be smooth, without hesitation, slipping or harsh clunks. |
| Brakes | The pedal should feel firm and linear. Pulsing can signal warped rotors, and pulling to one side warrants an inspection. |
| Steering and suspension | The car should track straight. Excess steering play, vibration at speed, clunks over bumps or excessive bouncing point to worn components. |
| Cabin electronics | Test every window, lock, mirror, seat adjuster and A/C setting, plus the infotainment and driver-assist systems. |
Dealers must display an FTC Buyers Guide on the used cars they offer for sale, showing whether a vehicle is sold “as is” or with a warranty. For a standard used car, the FTC also suggests an independent mechanical inspection, since a vehicle history report documents reported collisions and title records but not current mechanical wear.
