    Even if you find one, it will cost you! (although it will come with a year warranty)

    My Japanese friends can buy a used car online and have the car delivered to the airport so that they can drive it home! The car's complete history is available to them which allows them to decide one car over the other.
    Here in the US they have CarFax - which will at least show you any insurance claims against the vehicle and also maintenance, IF the previous owner had taken the car to a dealership for maintenance. Definitely not fool proof - but you have something to start with.

    This is a business opportunity for someone to start a service that would provide a PDI or Pre Delivery Inspection and maybe give a 30 or 60 day warranty with that service If you do start one, hati ako ;-)

    Need 188-point inspection when buying a used car? | Visor

    Now, it is launching its on-demand service that will make it easier for customers to examine a used vehicle from a private seller. For P2,600, you can have a mobile surveyor deployed to the location of the vehicle. They will then check the exterior, the interior, the engine, and the undercarriage. Using special tools, they can also inspect specific parts like the vehicle’s battery, the alternator, and even look at paint thickness and the subframe to see if the car has been damaged, flooded, or repaired in the past.

    This entire process will take around 45 minutes to complete on-site, after which findings will be immediately disclosed to the customer. If the client should desire, he or she may download a complete inspection report after 24 hours. And if these vehicles pass the 188-point inspection, clients may also avail of a warranty for the used car—if it is younger than three years.

    188 point inspection is too much and may result in a more confused buyer.

    Will they indicate that a wornout part of used vehicle is a result of a normal usage wear and tear?
