If you are a private buyer, buying from a dealer you have a level of comfort as the vehicle is covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act in the event something goes wrong in the near future. However, I'd prefer to know if there is anything wrong before I buy, so an AA Inspection is always advisable.
New imports will not generally have new brake pads unless the old ones were worn out or didn't meet the standards required for the Compliance Inspection.
