Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On the test drive, check the clutch for pedal chatter, slip and shudder. Ask whether the clutch and flywheel were done.
- Check the oil level after the test drive and ask for oil use records. Oil loss with no visible leak points to valve stem seals.
- On an N46, N52 or N55 petrol, check the idle. A strongly hunting idle points to Valvetronic wear.
- Lift the car and check the front control arms and rear bushings for play and cracks. Ask whether pothole damage was repaired.
