WHAT IS A HATCHBACK?  

A hatchback is, first and foremost, a road car with exceptional grip, offering comfort for both the driver and their passengers.   

 

WHAT ARE THE MAIN POINTS TO CHECK?  

A hatchback has been designed for 4 or 5 people to travel long distances in total comfort. However, before buying a used hatchback, there are certain things you should check very carefully, including: 

 

  • The bodywork: Simply take a careful look at the whole vehicle. You’ll quickly spot any signs of wear: impacts, scratches, paintwork damage, etc. The appearance of a hatchback is a good gauge of wear and tear.
  • The engine: Driveability, mileage, service history, types of journey...there are plenty of useful indicators to show what state the engine of your future used hatchback car may be in. 
  • The interior: Top-quality comfort, just as a hatchback should be. Unfortunately, day-to-day use can quickly damage the interior, whether that includes stained leather, tears, holes, scratches and worn areas, for example. Inspect your future used hatchback on all fabric surfaces to avoid any unpleasant surprises. 
  • Equipment: This varies from one model to the next and can be a deciding factor in your choice of car. You can find well-equipped used hatchback cars on the second-hand market with Park Assist or Integral Sat Nav, like the Mercedes E Class or the BMW 5 Series to name just two.
