  make sure u check the log card properly...make sure itz not $101 coe.....
  
  and best if u can drive down to your trusted mechanic or test centre for thorough check if itz accident-free..advisable dun let the SE know which test ctr u intend to go 1st coz normally they have contacts with the testers as they may ask the tester to indicate the car is "accident-free"
  
  of coz only when u really like the car den request for da..if not sure kena &*56%$& by the SE..hehe
