7 When inspecting under the hood, pay close attention to the following: – Random Fixes: Look for makeshift repairs such as zip ties, tape, or broken plastic pieces. These indicate unprofessional workmanship and potentially subpar maintenance practices. –
Battery and Wiring: Check if the battery is securely fastened and inspect for loose wires or components. A battery that can move around or loose wires hanging suggests poor maintenance standards. If you spot signs of shoddy workmanship or neglect in visible areas, it raises concerns about the overall condition of the vehicle. After all, if there are evident issues in what you can see, it’s reasonable to assume there may be more serious problems lurking beneath the surface.
