What to check on this one at 1,50,000 km
- Belt-driven engine, and at 150,000 km it is at or past the ~100,000 km timing-belt change. Ask for the bill, or budget for it: a snapped belt wrecks the engine.
- At 150,000 km the schedule has already called for: transmission fluid, spark plugs, 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 17 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
