What to check on this one at 31,257 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 31,257 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid, spark plugs. Ask to see the bills.
- Dual-clutch (DCT): creep in traffic and pull away on a slope on the test drive. A judder or shudder at low speed, or a gearbox warning light, points to clutch-pack wear. Ask whether any clutch or mechatronics work was done under warranty.
- 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.
