he took it out for a drive.

Please help me explain the sentence:

When Martin repaired the car, he took it out for a drive.

Thanks.

He took it out (of the garage) for a (test) drive. Yet I'd say "once Martin had repaired the car, he took it out for a drive", if he did so after he had repaired the car.
