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.

Owning it
| A month of running it | About ₹12,600Fuel at 800 km (₹6,900), insurance (₹1,200) and value lost (₹4,400), at 2 Oct 2026 Bengaluru fuel prices. |
|---|---|

| Engine oil | 5W-30 / 5W-40 (per climate table; match VW 50x approval on bottle, not just SAE grade) |
| Timing | Belt · ~120,000 km |
What to check on this one at 96,000 km
- Belt-driven engine: the timing belt is due around 120,000 km. Ask when it was last changed.
- At 96,000 km the schedule has already called for: transmission fluid, spark plugs. Ask to see the bills.
- On an automatic, feel for jerks or slip on a test drive and ask when the transmission fluid was last changed, a rebuild is dear.
- At about 12 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
