A seller who will not send them is telling you something. Or shortlist it and send it to us: we call the seller, check the papers and the service record, and tell you whether it is worth a visit.
Whatever used car you buy, have InspektAI inspect it before you pay. We work only for the buyer and take nothing from the sale.

What to check on this one at 96,000 km
- Belt-driven engine, and at 96,000 km it is at or past the ~100,000 km timing-belt change. Ask for the bill, or budget for it: a snapped belt wrecks the engine.
- At 96,000 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.
