My father always said start at the floor and work up, if the Tyres are of good quality! Not odd ! and cheap the money spent elsewhere will be money well spent and corners not cut. I have done this through out my car buying life.

The tyre thing is a great way to start. Some years ago I went to see a Ford Focus which according to the advert just had 3 tyres fitted. Imagine my annoyance to find all 4 tyres with a depth of just 3mm. Challenging the owner I asked why he lied about the tyres. He had indeed had 3 part worms fitted that week to get it through the MOT as it failed on 3 tyres being below the legal limit. He had been cutting corners so I walked away,
