Buying used — archive inspections

Historical used-buy features: 60 Series, Wrangler, Navara, Mighty Mouse. The evergreen inspection list lives at /buying-used/.

These Drupal-style folders stay live so earned links resolve. Each article is a new educational rewrite from the archive theme — not a scrape of print. Start here, then open the matching evergreen hub if you want the standing checklist.

• Mighty Mouse

  Mighty Mouse was the magazine’s affectionate used-buy for a smaller 4WD that still worked if you respected its mass and recovery points. Small is not a toy if the trip is honest.

• Nav-man

  Nav-man was the magazine’s used Navara conversation: rust, injectors, and whether the dual-cab had already spent its payload on a canopy. Inspect it as a ute, not as a wagon with a hole.

• Rounding Wrangler

  Round out a used Wrangler inspection with rust, the lift, steering, and whether the daily-plus-weekend story matches the odometer. The model hub is the short answer; this is the archive inspection.

• Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series

  60 Series LandCruiser buying notes start with rust, chassis, and whether the wagon is a tool or a sticker collection. Parts are a reason people still look. Condition is the reason they should walk away.
