You can never have enough checks.
I'm a believer in post flight checks and inspections.
Way back I jumped in a Chieftain to warm it up for a long trip out of Adelaide only to find a dead magneto.
Had the previous pilot checked the mags prior to shutdown it might have avoided a 4 hour delay.
On another occasion getting into a 310 noticed more status dirt around the edges of the cowl than usual.
Sure enough one of the exhaust pipes had broken off just after the last cylinder causing brownish streaks on the paint
that would have been right in the face of the last pilot to fly it as he got out, if he bothered to pay attention.
