Buying a used car is a major decision. You want to be confident that you are making the right choice. That’s why the AA has established the AA Autocheck used car programme, which sets stringent standards for the preparation and presentation of used cars.

In effect, AA Autocheck is a quality assurance scheme. Participating dealers undertake to perform a detailed examination of their "for sale" cars under 101 separate inspection headings.

AA engineers then audit dealers regularly to ensure standards are being enforced.

This programme provides customers with independent reassurance, AA peace of mind and confidence in buying a used car.
