🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Timing belt + tensioner: Belt every 120k km. Must change tensioner and water pump together.
- Turbo failure: Turbo can fail at high mileage. Oil starvation from blocked oil feed line is common cause. Check for oil smoke.
- DMF (dual-mass flywheel): Flywheel develops judder/rattle with age, especially on vehicles used for towing. Replacement is labor-intensive.
- Turbo failure: Turbo can fail due to oil starvation from blocked feed line. Check for oil smoke.
- DMF (dual-mass flywheel): Flywheel develops judder/rattle, especially on towing vehicles.
- Car is 18 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
Additional notes
- Pre-2010 diesel with 250k+ km: injectors, turbo, EGR all at end of life. DPF regeneration failures cause cascading damage. Total repair bill can easily exceed car value. Budget €2,000-5,000 for major overhaul. Consider whether the car is worth investing in.
- Vehicle is 15+ years old. Age-related issues: rubber seals/hoses degrade, electrical connectors corrode, suspension bushings wear. Not specific to any engine, but expect €500-1,500/year in age-related maintenance beyond normal service items.
- 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.
