10th Sep 2025
Checks Before Selling
Buying a car should be exciting, not stressful. At RW Cars Derby, we make sure every car that leaves our forecourt is ready for the road and reliable for you. Here are the five key checks we always carry out before handing over the keys:
History Check
We check for outstanding finance, previous accidents, and make sure the mileage adds up. No hidden surprises!
Mechanical & Safety Inspection
From the engine to the brakes and airbags, we go through everything to make sure the car runs smoothly and safely.
MOT Ready
Every car comes with a valid MOT, and if it’s due soon, we’ll sort a fresh one for you.
Service & Maintenance
Oil, filters, tyres, brakes… we check and update what needs doing so you don’t have to worry.
Looks & Comfort
A clean interior, tidy exterior, working electrics — we make sure the car feels as good as it drives.
