Known issues for this car

Before you buy this car

From the generation guide

1. Check for rough idle or lost power on a diesel. Both are typical of a sticking EGR valve. A scanner reads the fault.
2. On a pump-injector car with high mileage, ask for injector work records. Budget about 50,000 RUB per injector if none exist.
3. After rain, check the footwell carpet and smell for damp. Look at the water box drains under the windscreen. Wet carpet means water in the footwell.
4. Lift the car and check the springs, dampers and front wishbones. Broken springs, leaking dampers and rattling wishbones fail the TÜV.
5. Check brake discs for cracks. A front brake job costs 510-650 EUR at a brand workshop in Germany (2026).
