Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Twinamic. Test from cold: pull away, reverse, creep. Bad result: slipping, a pause, a jerk or a warning. Have the clutch adaptation values read with a scanner.
- Brakes. Check the front discs through the wheel; test the foot brake and handbrake. Bad result: a worn lip on the discs, a long pedal or a handbrake that will not hold.
- Exhaust. Tap the rear silencer and heat shields for flakes and holes. Bad result: a rattle, a hole or a loose heat shield.
- Front suspension. Push down each front corner; drive over a rough road. Bad result: a knock from the drop links or axle mounts.
- Oil loss. Look under the engine and drive units, then at the dipstick. Bad result: fresh oil or a low level.
- Battery. Check its age; start the car with the lights on. Bad result: a slow crank or no warning.
- Pedal sensor. Let start-stop work a few times in traffic. Bad result: the engine does not restart.
- Recalls. Ask a dealer to check open campaigns by VIN.
