What to check on this one at 23,000 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.
- On a diesel, have the turbo, the injectors and (where fitted) the DPF checked: those are the expensive failures.
- Still young, so wear is not the worry: accident repairs and a genuine odometer are. Paint depth and panel gaps tell you more than the service book.
