Clinton is joined by mechanic Mitchell Pedavolli to discuss avoiding pitfalls when buying a used car.

Mr Pedavolli stresses the importance of a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection, including checking for accident damage, leaks, and verifying the VIN.

The VIN reveals crucial details such as outstanding finances, warranty status, past incidents like collisions or floods, and any replaced parts.

He also stresses that common issues found in inspections often include accident damage, oil leaks, and tampered odometers.
