Important Documents To Demand For While Buying A Used Car

---

Before buying a used car in Nigeria, the following papers(documents) must be available:

1. Customs Papers: This document is proof that the car was imported legally into the country and that all import duties have been paid. Without this document, your car can easily be impounded and heavy fines would be placed on you, because it would be obvious that you smuggled the car into the country.

2. Vehicle License: This document shows that the car is registered and licensed to be driven on Nigerian roads. It's usually displayed on the car's windscreen. The engine number, chassis number, and registration number of the car are all listed in these documents. Verify that these details correspond to those on the car.

3. Certificate of Roadworthiness: When buying a used car in Nigeria, this is one of the documents you should look out for. Every vehicle in Nigeria must pass a roadworthiness test before it may be driven. And make sure you check the date to ensure it's not expired cos the certificate is usually valid for one year after which you'll have to go and renew it again. If the certificate has expired, locate the closest VIO office around you to renew it.

4. Records of Insurance Usually this comes with the license and registration. So request for it. Because if the car is duly registered, it should have at least third party insurance papers. Without insurance, your car stands the risk of getting impounded.

5. Proof of Ownership: This is to be sure that you're not buying a stolen car which can land you in serious problems. You must ask for the original purchase invoice or receipt, which proves the seller's legal ownership of the car.
