🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Turbo failure (hard use): In commercial/loaded use, turbo works very hard.
- Car is 11 years old — some age-related maintenance expected (seals, suspension components)
- Higher mileage (223,557 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.
- 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.
