Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a diesel with a manual gearbox, listen for noise at low revs. Check the clutch engagement point and pedal play. A bad result is loud noise or a late, slipping clutch.
- 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.
