Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Ignition coils (petrol). Start the engine warm and listen for misfire or stalling. Bad result: a misfire.
- Footwell and drains. Press the carpets in both footwells and smell for damp. Bad result: wet carpet or a musty smell.
- Windows and locks. Use every window switch and the central locking, from the key and from inside. Bad result: a window drops, sticks or stops, or the doors lock or unlock on their own.
- Front control arms. Drive over bumps and listen. Check the front suspension on a lift. Bad result: knocks or play in the front suspension.
