What to check on this one at 80,000 km
- Belt-driven engine: the timing belt is due around 150,000 km. Ask when it was last changed.
- At 80,000 km the schedule has already called for: brake fluid, coolant. 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 19 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
