Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a manual with M32, drive in 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th and listen for a whine or hum. A whine that rises with speed is a bad sign.
- Ask whether the DPF was cleaned and the EGR valve checked. Ask if the car was mostly used on short trips. A scanner can show EGR or DPF codes.
- Check the oil level after the test drive and ask for an oil service record. Oil loss is reported on the 1.4 Turbo and 1.6 CDTI. A low level is a bad sign.
- Ask the dealer to check the VIN for open recalls: tie-rod end, parking brake software, airbags and the diesel software. An open campaign is a bad result; have it done before you pay.
