The latest statistics indicate bronze is the most common car colour in Longford, while Toyota is the most common car brand.
Speaking about the statistics, Justin Kavanagh, Managing Director of MyVehicle.ie said:
“During Irish Road Safety Week, I would urge all drivers who are considering purchasing a second-hand car to make an informed decision. A vehicle history check costs just 18 euro – a fraction of the maintenance and repair costs which could be incurred from buying a faulty second-hand car. Promoting safer vehicles is at the heart of MyVehicle.ie. If you happen to discover through our reporting system that your vehicle was previously written-off, we will offer you a free subsequent report.”
In addition to the MyVehicle.ie history check, the company also provides an engineer pre-purchase assessment service which is the cheapest in the Irish market today.
