The RAC found only 10% of used car buyers actually check a car before buying it!

The RAC data - taken from over 21,000 checks - found that 23% highlighted issues of concern, including: 12.5% with outstanding finance; 9.4% had been recorded as an insurance write-off; 0.8% had undergone a colour change; 0.1% recorded as having been scrapped; and 0.05% marked as stolen.

A separate study of drivers who had purchased an RAC Vehicle History Check found that 33% decided not to purchase the car they were looking at based on the information they received in the report, which takes a minute online.
