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.

The market around it
88% of 52 similar cars (2022 to 2024), each adjusted to this one, ask more than it does.
What to offer
- Owners who came down on a car like this came down about 5.7%.
- It already asks ₹1.8 lakh less than our fair price of ₹14.8 lakh, so do not push too hard.
From how far sellers here have actually come down, not a promise. An inspection prices every fault it finds, and that moves a seller further.

What to check on this one at 25,000 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.
Before you pay
Want us to check this Thar?
Nobody has inspected it for you yet. We go to the car: paint readings on every panel, a diagnostic scan, the service history decoded and the papers checked, with a written report the same day. We do not sell cars, so the report works only for you.
