What to check on this one at 24,583 km
- Timing chain, not a belt, so no scheduled change. A rattle for a second on a cold start points to a stretched chain: listen for it.
- On a diesel, have the turbo, the injectors and (where fitted) the DPF checked: those are the expensive failures.
- 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.
- iMT: a manual gearbox with no clutch pedal, the clutch is worked by an actuator. Check it engages smoothly in stop-start traffic and ask if the clutch has been replaced.
