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 15,000 km
- Belt-driven engine: the timing belt is due around 120,000 km. Ask when it was last changed.
- 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.
- Dual-clutch (DCT): creep in traffic and pull away on a slope on the test drive. A judder or shudder at low speed, or a gearbox warning light, points to clutch-pack wear. Ask whether any clutch or mechatronics work was done under warranty.
- Turbo petrol: watch for blue smoke on a cold start and listen for a whistle or a loss of boost. Regular oil changes matter more on a turbo engine, so read the service record for them.
