RAC Inspections survey reveals 85% of buyers are fooled by shiny paintwork. The latest survey from RAC Inspections reveals that many people think they know a thing or two about cars when looking to buy.

65% say they know the basics and don't need friends or family to help them check under the bonnet. However many are taken in by the simplest things like shiny paintwork and a clean engine.

RAC Inspections has warned used car buyers to watch out for tricks used by unscrupulous sellers to hide faults or a dodgy past. When it comes to standard checks, only 44% would check the chassis numbers on the car match each other, while only 43% would double check that the seller is the registered keeper.
