Buying Used 4x4s

As everyone knows, the second-hand car market is a minefield.  When you're buying the sort of vehicle that might already have been used to hack through mud, tow heavy trailers, carry mobs of unruly children or transport wet dogs home from days out in the countryside, the dangers are greater than ever.  Yet if chosen with care, a second-hand 4x4 can be the best purchase you ever make.  Rush headlong into buying a 4x4, and you're likely to get stung.  Go into it with as much information as possible, and you'll get a vehicle you'll soon wonder how you managed to do without.  Use our used 4x4 reviews below to help you make the right decision.
