🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Chain tensioner failure (early): Early models had weak chain tensioner.
- Car is 15 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (229,436 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- 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.
