Hi Tsikoteers,
I'm new here and I just bought a 2nd hand car and I plan to use it on a very long trip. Can you tell me what I need to have checked first
in no particular order so I wont have any issues on my long trip ? TIA.

i assume, its below the recommended reading pa for changing the timing belt.
but to be sure better have it checked.
replace all fluids, check the drive belts and replace if necessary.
check the brake pads.
check tire condition.

Since 2010 lang yan, baka generally ok pa. But to have a peace of mind, here are the things that I would do:

- replace all fluids
- check brake pads and lines
- check all belts and hoses
- check lights / bulbs
- check spare tire (this is the most neglegted item in vehicles)
- check wheel alignment
