RAC inspection for used car
Discussion
Any cheap old car should be expected to need money spending on it - if it doesn't, that's a bonus.
Any inspection won't be able to detect every possible problem. The question is 'is the cost of the inspection worth what it does find?', not 'is this inspection a guarantee the car won't need money spending on it?', because it can't be - the inspector can't tear down the engine etc.
If you can find a trusted / well recommended garage nearby and ask them to inspect it, that's potentially better than AA/RAC, because the garage can put the car up on a ramp to check underneath more thoroughly. They might also be able to quote a cost for any repairs they find needed. IME a good independent garage was a better inspection.
