What to check on this one at 76,000 km
- Belt-driven engine: the timing belt is due around 100,000 km. Ask when it was last changed.
- At 76,000 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs. Ask to see the bills.
- At about 14 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
