Frequently asked questions
Do first-time buyers need training?
Minutes: zero on clean metal, seat flat, read, compare panels—not a body-shop diploma.
What if I misread once?
Repeat nearby points; consistency across a panel matters more than a single digit.
Is £84.54 steep for a first car?
One avoided bad purchase usually dwarfs the meter cost; returns window adds safety.
Gift for a new driver?
Practical—pair with a notebook of panel readings from viewings.
