What to check on this one at 1,14,000 km
- Belt-driven engine, and at 114,000 km it is at or past the ~120,000 km timing-belt change. Ask for the bill, or budget for it: a snapped belt wrecks the engine.
- At 114,000 km the schedule has already called for: transmission fluid, spark plugs. 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.
