Mitsubishi RVR

Thoroughly inspect the CVT transmission for smooth operation and check fluid history; prefer models with regular CVT fluid changes.

Examine the undercarriage for rust, paying close attention to the subframe, suspension components, and brake lines.

Test drive the car at various speeds to assess road noise and engine performance, especially if considering smaller engine variants.

Verify service records, particularly for major components like the engine and transmission.

Consider a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic, especially for cars imported from the USA.

For USA imports, check the VIN on Carfax/Autocheck for accident history, flood damage, or salvage titles.
