🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Turbo failure (D-CAT 177hp): D-CAT models have variable geometry turbo that can fail due to soot buildup.
- DPF + D-CAT complexity: D-CAT system is more complex — 5th injector for DPF regen can clog.
- Head gasket seepage: Coolant loss from head gasket seepage reported on some units.
- EGR valve clogging: EGR valve and cooler can clog with soot.
- Car is 18 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (216,703 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- 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.
