Chances are, you’ll be browsing CARFAX® during your car-buying process. CARFAX offers a vehicle’s history of maintenance and repairs so that you can make the most informed decision before purchasing a used car. CARFAX used cars can have many advantages – here are three benefits of CARFAX one-owner vehicles.

1.   Better Maintenance Records

A single-owner car will likely have a better maintenance record than a car that has passed through numerous owners. Even with several owners taking good care of a vehicle, one owner that didn’t perform proper routine maintenance could jeopardize the overall health of that car. If previous records were not reviewed as a vehicle passed hands, there could be missed opportunities or milestone maintenance procedures that were overlooked.

2.   Fewer Miles

There’s a higher likelihood that a one-owner used vehicle will have lower mileage than a multi-owner vehicle. A car with fewer miles often doesn’t need as many repairs, meaning you spend less time at the shop and more time on the road.

3.   Fewer Repair Needs

With a solid CARFAX maintenance record and lower mileage, a one-owner vehicle will likely require fewer repairs in the long run. Repairs can be costly and oftentimes avoidable when routine maintenance is performed at the recommended intervals. Additionally, if a car has passed through multiple owners in a short period of time, this may indicate larger repair needs or problems with the vehicle.
