Follow the prompts on the age of the machine will be no small multiple button in the cabin. Most suffer steering keys, radio, air conditioning.

State seats, especially the driver, very well, "gives" the mileage of the car. Eventually wear out as budgetary leatherette and "rag", and expensive leather and velor interiors. But if better (read - expensive) options look good up to 200 thousand kilometers, the cheap materials after 100,000 kilometers look unpresentable, and even after 200 000 may appear hole.

Of all the seats in the cabin most of all suffers the front left (driver's). Worth seeing the left and right side bolsters. If the one with the driver's side, softened and began to lose shape, then run the machine has passed for 100 thousand kilometers.

4. pedals

Like the steering wheel, a good indicator of run for 100 thousand - pedal. The driver is constantly interacting with the controls, erases them. When you run more than 200 thousand pedals, are likely to be heavily worn, until the complete disappearance of the drawing pad.

5. Handle transmission

On vehicles with manual transmission lever it also provides mileage "with guts." Bedknobs is overwritten, it is "bald", and the handle cover PPC wringing.

Do not take these observations as the ultimate truth, because all cars have their own design features and modes of operation. But a comparison of a number of laws will help to identify the car with the twisted mileage, as well as "see through" the unclean on the seller's hand.

And even novice motorists should know about 7 used models, from the acquisition of which it is better to abstain.
