When looking for a used car, motorbike, registration plate, van or mobile home, it's incredibly important to find out as much information as possible. That's why here at adflyer we list all the vital statistics, including the vehicle's make, model, year, fuel type, mileage and condition. Plus, the sellers can list any additional information such as safety features, the vehicle's colour and number of previous owners, so that you know all you need to before contacting the seller.

So, what should you look out for when browsing our motoring section? The best place to start is the vehicle's fuel type. Whether the vehicle is petrol, diesel or a hybrid affects everything from fuel consumption to the amount of road tax you pay, and even the type of journey you'll be making. While diesel cars are better suited to frequent short journeys, petrol engines are best when you're spending a lot of time stuck in traffic, and hybrids are ideal for city motoring.

Another important feature to consider is the year of the vehicle. In terms of tax, greener is definitely cheaper: if the vehicle was registered on or after the 1st of March 2001, your road tax will be based on both fuel type and CO2 emissions. You'll also need to think about depreciation. Although a car's value can diminish by up to 40% in its first year, this does slow down as the car gets older, so buying a nearly new car might be better value than a brand new one. However, don't forget to think about the cost of repairs for an older car.

When looking at a classified ad for a car, you should make sure that the car has an up-to-date MOT, whilst also looking out for any additional safety features such as ABS (anti-lock braking system), ESC (electronic stability control) and tyre pressure monitoring, which can be found most commonly in newer cars from premium brands.

Of course, all of this doesn't just apply to our car classifieds: make sure you think about the year, fuel type, condition and safety features of other vehicles listed on the site, especially vans, caravans, motorcycles and trailers.
