The 3 year lease on my Honda civic finished a week ago. I thought about getting another civic but would prefer something slightly larger in size so started looking for an accord.

I am looking to get the exec 2.2 diesel and have seen one which isn't too far away from me. it is a 57 plate with 57k miles on the clock and has FHSH with just 1 owner and is selling for £6200. It is a trade car but I am not sure how reputable the company is. It is a small company as they are selling cars from their home it seems.

As I am not sure how well the car has been looked after and I don't know enough about what to look out for on these models I was wondering if I should get the AA/RAC to inspect the vehicle for me before I buy. The inspection costs about £150. Can anyone recommend them? On a similar note what should I look out for before I buy?

Thanks in advanced
