Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Lift the car and check the front lower arm ball joints, stabilizer links and shock absorbers for play, leaks and knocks over bumps.
- Check the VIN in the official recall checker of your country. Ask the dealer for proof that open campaigns are done.
- Cars built 2016 to 2020: ask whether the belt starter-generator was replaced under the recall. Moisture can make it overheat.
- Use every window switch, and watch for windows that move on their own, especially when the indicator is used. CarWiki says a workshop software update fixes this.
- Pair a phone by Bluetooth and check the screen for flicker or restarts.
