Our Policy
Jefferies Farm Car Sales operates a policy of being, at all times transparent, open and honest with all of our customers and suppliers. These are the standards that we will work to when preparing your next car. When you inspect the car, please feel free to bring to our attention any item that you are not completely satisfied with and we can discuss with you any additional work that you may require when we chat about the deal.
Tyres
Perhaps the most important safety check we complete. Remember, your tyres form the only contact your car has with the road. We check all of our cars to ensure tyre wear is not less than 3mm across the entire width of the tyre (well within legal limit which is 1.6mm) The rule is simple, 3mm and above stay on, below 3mm are replaced. The tyres are also checked for uneven wear, cuts and any digs, lumps and bulges.
Paintwork
We strive to ensure that the condition of the paintwork of the car is in keeping with the age and mileage. Most cars during normal use will collect their fair share of stone chips and minor scuffs and light scratches. However, we do try our very best to remove these by machine polishing before the car is displayed, if not certainly before it is collected by its new owner. We also use a very experienced dent removal expert for those rouge parking dings and dents. For more serious blemishes, scratches and dents, we use an experienced local body shop to repair these to the highest standard for resale. Some used cars that we sell will have had previous paintwork as we cannot promise that a car has been minor damage free, however, we do carry out stringent HPI history checks to ensure the car has not been in a previous serious accident where it has become an insurance write off and then repaired.
Interior Condition
We carry out a full interior valet with wash and vac of the interior trim along with a special treatment to remove any unpleasant odours. Should there be any minor scuffs or marks on the interior trim, we can arrange for these to be repaired by a local specialist.
Wheels
There are very few cars on the road with blemish free alloy wheels, so we will have potentially carried out alloy repair and paintwork to wheels before the car is displayed. Some cars have only small blemishes and marks to the wheels which we believe are acceptable given the age and mileage on the car. However, if the appearance of your wheels is important to you, please discuss any further work you would like carried out with us.
MOT
Every car sold, if required, by Jefferies Farm Car Sales will be supplied with at least 6 months MOT certificate. Cars under 2 years old will not require an MOT. It the current certificate expires within six months of your collection date we will provide you with a new MOT.
