Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- DL501 S tronic: test for jerks when pulling away and on downshifts. Ask for oil records (every 40,000-60,000 km). A scanner should show P189C or P17BF if the fault is stored.
- V6 petrol: listen for a rattle 2 to 5 seconds after a cold start. Ask for a cylinder endoscopy (a camera inside the bores) and a fault scan for P0016, P0017 and P0018.
- Suspension: on a lift, check wheel bearings, bushes and dampers for play and leaks. On air suspension, check ride height; a scanner shows height sensor faults.
