Honest private-sale example. Mechanical core is in usable shape for the kilometres. Price should reflect tires, rear brakes, and a developing valve-cover seep. One key only.
Keys, remotes, and spare provision
AttentionOne key/fob only. Budget a spare before you rely on the car.
Rear bumper and valance
AttentionParking scuff on the passenger corner. Cosmetic, not structural.
Visible oil leakage (seepage vs active drip)
AttentionSeepage at the valve cover, not an active drip on the day of inspection.
Left rear lining remaining
AttentionRear pads about 3 mm. Plan a rear brake service in the near term.
Right rear lining remaining
AttentionRear pads about 3 mm. Plan a rear brake service in the near term.
Left front tire — tread remaining
