Tires and Brakes
Larger, heavier vehicles can wear these faster, so check their condition.
AWD Performance
On all-wheel-drive models, ask about maintenance and pay attention to how it drives.
Maintenance Records
Regular oil changes and fluid services are a good sign of a well-kept vehicle.
Test Drive
Check visibility, ride comfort, and how easily the seats fold and adjust.
