Known Issues / Imperfections
Cosmetic:
Stone chips, scuffs, and some damaged alloys consistent with age/mileage
Small creases on front passenger door (quoted 120 for PDR fix)
Scrapes on rear quarter, rust bubbles on tailgate, and chipped paint above windscreen (all photographed)
Mechanical:
XDrive AWD system removed due to front diff failure - now RWD (improved economy and feels quicker!)
Minor exhaust leak near turbo - faint hissing when cold, disappears after warm-up
Knock when going over bumps - honestly thought this would be picked up by MOT but it wasnt so being open
One tyre nearing wear limit (noted on MOT)
Loads of receipts available. Happy to show paperwork on viewing.
This is a 14-year-old car with high mileage and typical cosmetic wear, but it runs very well and has been maintained to a high standard. Perfect as a reliable family car or practical daily.
