“It passed RTA” doesn’t mean “it’s a good car to buy.”
An RTA test checks whether the car meets roadworthiness requirements.
A proper pre-purchase inspection checks what could become your problem after the transfer: leaks, hidden fault codes, gearbox behaviour, cooling issues, worn suspension and more.
So before buying a used car in Dubai, don’t just ask:
“Did it pass?”
Ask:
“What was actually checked?”
Save this before your next car viewing — and send it to someone planning to buy a used car.
