Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Test every window, including any auto up and down function. A bad result is a window that stops, drops or opens by itself.
From the engine guide
- Rod bearings (no scanner). Check the engine code in the service book, the vehicle papers or on the block. Bad: a BXE with a knock under the bonnet and no proof of new rod bearings.
From the gearbox guide
- Fault scan (needs a scanner). P17BF, P189C, P1895 or P0841 mean a pressure fault, usually the accumulator housing. Get a repair price or walk away.
- Pump test. Ignition on, engine off. The pump should run briefly and stop. A pump that keeps whirring points to the accumulator.
- Oil. Look at the gearbox and the undertray. Wet oil can mean a mechatronic job.
- Control unit signs. Ask about a flashing gear display, a blown gearbox fuse, or the car losing drive at a stop.
- Clutch values (needs a scanner). Read remaining clutch travel and the adaptation counters. Counters that will not adapt, or very low travel, mean a clutch job soon.
- Road test in 6th and 7th. Full throttle from 1,000 and 1,500 rpm. Engine speed that swings by up to 200 rpm means a worn clutch. Also feel for judder pulling away.
- Reverse, cold and warm. A flashing R, no reverse or a crunch is bad.
- Cold start. A rattle for 5 to 10 minutes, or in 2nd on overrun, points to the flywheel.
- Paperwork. VIN check for open recalls; for 2008 to 2013 cars, proof of the 2013 oil change; invoices for any mechatronic repair.
