🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- DPF clogging: City-only use clogs DPF — needs highway runs for regeneration.
- Injector issues: Common-rail injectors can fail at high mileage.
- EGR cooler leak: EGR cooler can crack internally, causing coolant loss.
- Car is 14 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (195,393 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- 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.
- Pre-2015 Hyundai/Kia 2.2 CRDi (D4HB) has timing chain stretch issues. Chain rattle on cold start is the first sign. Later revisions fixed the issue. Check for TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) application.
- 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.
- Older Hyundai/Kia 2.0 CRDi with 120k+ km: turbocharger failure and injector leaks are the main risks. EGR valve clogging is near-certain. Budget €1,000-2,000 for turbo, €400-800 for injector seals.
