🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks

- Injector failure: Common-rail injectors fail and leak.
- Turbo actuator failure: Electronic actuator sticks.
- EGR cooler crack: EGR cooler can crack and leak coolant into exhaust.
- Car is 12 years old — some age-related maintenance expected (seals, suspension components)
- Very high mileage (279,666 km) — expect suspension, drivetrain, and turbo wear. Thorough pre-purchase inspection essential.
Additional notes
- Chevrolet Captiva 2.0 diesel (VM Motori engine) is known for: injector problems, DPF issues, turbo failures, and automatic gearbox (Aisin) problems. Parts are expensive relative to the car's value. High ownership costs for a budget SUV.
- Any car with 200k+ km requires extra scrutiny. At this mileage: suspension components are worn (bushings, ball joints, shocks), seals and gaskets are hardened, electrical connectors corrode, and major components approach end-of-life. For luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) the cost of 200k+ km maintenance can exceed the car's value. Always get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and budget 15-25% of purchase price for immediate maintenance.
- Diesel car from before 2018 with very low mileage suggests city-only use — DPF is likely clogged or has been removed (illegal). Check DPF status and EGR condition.
