What to check on this one at 54,000 km
- Timing chain, not a belt, so no scheduled change. A rattle for a second on a cold start points to a stretched chain: listen for it.
- At 54,000 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid. Ask to see the bills.
- iMT: a manual gearbox with no clutch pedal, the clutch is worked by an actuator. Check it engages smoothly in stop-start traffic and ask if the clutch has been replaced.
- Turbo petrol: watch for blue smoke on a cold start and listen for a whistle or a loss of boost. Regular oil changes matter more on a turbo engine, so read the service record for them.
