🚨 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 (199,955 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.
