Hello

Im really interested in buying a 1.5dci from my local dealer, it’s sitting on a modest 13500 mileage at £13.8k asking on a 65 plate. 
 

What do I need to look out for? 
 

thanks in advance! 

As long as the servicing has been carried out by the dealer when it should have been and they offer a lengthy warranty then not much to go wrong really

But as its low mileage and 7 years old now you have to consider it may have been smoked around town and this sort of low speed driving can cause problems on diesel engines (blocked DPF, EGR, etc)

I’m getting a 3 year warranty and I’ll be clearing any potential DPF blockages by doing a 140 mile round trip every Monday so hopefully it’ll be okay. 
 

thank you
