Used 2017 Toyota Mirai buyer's checklist

- Visibility/Wiper — 1 owner reports. Check all exterior lights, wipers and the windshield for cracks.
- Fuel/Propulsion System — 1 owner reports. Smell for fuel around the car and in the cabin, check that it starts easily when warm, and look at the oil dipstick for a fuel smell or rising level.
- Mileage to watch. Owners typically reported problems around 1,000 miles; ask what was repaired near that point.
- Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
