Used car checklist before buying in Cyprus
Before you pay a deposit, check the listing, seller story, documents, mileage, condition clues and whether the car needs specialist inspection.
Before viewing
Ask enough questions to decide whether the viewing is worth your time.
- Confirm ownership and documents.
- Ask for mileage history.
- Check why the car is being sold.
- Compare price with similar cars.
At viewing
Do not let photos replace checks for warning lights, tyres, accident signs, fluid leaks, service history and seller pressure.
Before deposit
If anything is unclear, pause and request a listing review or pre-purchase inspection before committing.
FAQ
Should I pay a deposit before inspection?
