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 97,000 km
- At 97,000 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid. Ask to see the bills.
- On a diesel, have the turbo, the injectors and (where fitted) the DPF checked: those are the expensive failures.
- 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.
