If you have just bought it from an unknown seller then there is a risk that it comes with issues. However you can take sensible precautions, For example buy breakdown cover. Check and top up the oil and ensure that the coolant reservoir is up to the mark. When driving keep an eye out for any warning lights and the temperature gauge going into the red. Check all the external lights, the tyres and that the wipers are effective.
You should find details in the car handbook of these basic checks. If it’s missing then Google or You Tube are good places to find out how to do them.
Hopefully you did all this before buying it but, if not, these checks are worth doing regularly whether you are doing a long journey or not.
Good luck with your new (to you) car.
