Generally can't find something intermittent or check a sparkplug. Generally a person checks that it operates and is legal during pre-purchase. also the post can find hidden information from check engine lights that may have been turned off. its kind of invasive to plug in a scan tool in a front yard although honestly for prices of used cars it should be common

I did one, I got the car from my neighbor a highly trusted person all I checked was for rust. Send it to the mechanic and told him if you find anything fix it.

@duncancremin1708 8 ай бұрын

People who don’t do their own maintenance tend to do this. It’s sort of a preventative maintenance thing. They don’t trust themselves to recognise a potential problem with a car they’re not yet familiar with, so they get a pro to go through it and fix anything that matters. It’s a risky task to take on, because it exposes the mechanic to potential liability, if something he hasn’t highlighted subsequently fails. I only do it for trusted regulars, subject to a disclaimer and not for profit.

07:21 The center rear seat belt (the one overhead in the cargo bay) has two latching tongues on it, the smaller (normally asymmetric) one goes to the black buckle on the R/H side. The main buckle (red release button) on this belt goes to the L/H outboard center buckle marked "center belt". They are clearly labeled on all variants of this vehicle I have seen and also on nearly all vehicles I have inspected that have detachable center belt diagonal fasteners. Also, did you check the child restraint function on those rear belts? All these models have a built in restraint system for a child seat. You fasten the belt as normal then pull the belt out to it's full extent which will engage it's ratchet restraint system. You then return the belt to a comfortable (or for ridgid child seats, a solid) position. From this point, if the mechanism is working properly, cannot be extended again without being unlatched and returned to full retraction.

@Boga217 8 ай бұрын

The locking mechanism is not a child restraint function. It's a retraction locking mechanism for crashes mandated in 1996 and newer vehicles. It's just an extra convenience to use it as a cinch strap for seats.

One other thing I always do as part of a pre-purchase inspection .. I carry my Bluetooth OBDII reader and my phone with the Torque app so I can do a basic code read... What I'm looking for primarily is that the drive cycle readiness tests have all completed... If I see the drive cycle hasn't completed, it's a red flag that the seller has recently cleared trouble codes, and I may find it sets a code once the drive cycle has been completed (such as an evap code, as that's usually the last drive cycle test to complete). Now it's also possible that it simply means the battery was disconnected recently... But it's always something you want to check. Many times I've caught independent dealers and private sellers trying to conceal an issue that would set a code and illuminate the MIL by clearing the codes.

Hi Ray, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the videos on the Toyota Yaris. You did an excellent inspection. I'm a little biased as I own a 2009 Yaris RS that only has 7500 kms or 4600 miles. Mine is fully loaded with all the amenities. It was shipped over from Japan and even the Goodyear tires are stamped, made in Japan. I would like more videos like this where you pick apart a used car and try to find any defects. The owner who bought the Yaris is a lucky person as these cars are very well made and will last a long time. All your videos are top notch and glad now that you have your own shop. Wish you lived in my neck of the woods as you would be my only mechanic.

Brake lights and backup lights can be checked w/o an assistant by backing up near a wall or glass door/window and looking in rearview mirror for illumination reflection. You didn't mention checking battery voltage, but seemed to have no issues there (voltage drop reading during startup is easily captured with a multimeter that has a dedicated MIN/MAX function). Glad you mentioned the door/hatch seals and checking for leaks (water/wind noise leaks) especially since it's a FL car that sees plenty of rain. Nice job overall Ray, impressed that you caught the black tape hiding the TPMS light and even more impressed that you found an apparent tire patch or previous nail impression. 👍

I have done a lot of these inspections in my 65 year career and I was a little suspicious of the pristine condition of the front clip after 100K plus miles. I also saw the paper label on the fender skirt that you loosened to see the windshield washer motor, this looks like a replacement part. I couldn't zoom in to read it. I would look very closely at the supports for the front clip and associated metal I suspect there might be a crash repair of the front end. Maybe a car fax check although I have found errors with them. The only other thing I do as a routine is check tie tire tread area for nails/ screws that may need to be repaired or removed. Great job as always.

Used car lot pulled the check engine bulb and I found six codes to the tune of 500 bucks in OEM sensors that were not happy. My son was the one who asked me to check it after she bought it. I told her I would go with to check it out before she bought a headache. She got a headache and my son gave her guff for not listening..

TPMS light can be something as simple as tire pressure. Since it got cold here the Nissan TPMS light comes on when cold but goes off when the tires heat up after driving a while. Checking the pressure when cold all tires needed 1-2 pounds to get up to specification. If the TPMS light come on while driving a tire is losing pressure so you may have picked up a foreign object. A blinking TPMS is usually a sign of a sensor problem where the sensor battery have have pooped out and needs replacement. The Nissan TPMS is quite sensitive.

@rich91710 8 ай бұрын

The newer Toyota TPMS sensors have rubber stems. They are generally on newer models that actually self-program the serial number and corner from a simple dash reset. I think Toyota dumped the old indirect (ABS-reading) TPMS around 2008, but some models retained the sensor in the spare, which would often trigger a light when the driver didn't realize their spare was low.
