What to check on this one at 99,000 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 99,000 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs. Ask to see the bills.
- At about 13 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
