🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Injector issues: Common-rail injectors can fail.
- DPF clogging: City use clogs DPF.
- Car is 14 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Very high mileage (254,262 km) — expect suspension, drivetrain, and turbo wear. Thorough pre-purchase inspection essential.
Additional notes
- Renault M9R 2.0 dCi with 100k+ km — turbo failures and DPF clogging common. Oil contamination from failed DPF regeneration cycles destroys turbo bearings. Budget €800-1,500 for turbo and €600-1,200 for DPF.
- 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.
- Renault Scenic diesel (165 listings, avg 208k km, only €3.4k) — mostly 1.5 dCi (K9K) at end-of-life mileage. Turbo actuator failure, injectors need replacement, timing belt overdue. These are cheap but many need €2-3k to make roadworthy. Check for body rust on Scenic III/IV.
