I’m looking to buy a 105hp Twin Air, have found a 2017 car with 50,000 miles with a dealer,
preferred colour and with other specs I prefer to have.
Car has had a new clutch and flywheel and been told they have changed the boot
release mechanism as a preemptive move as they can fail and car will have a full
service done before sale.
Issue is the service history, it has had 5 services at 1 year intervals but the last
one was March 22, since then the car has done 16,000 miles. Is this enough of a reason
to walk away or is there anything that I can check to see if this may have caused
any serious issues?
With most modern cars this wouldn’t worry me too much but it’s an unusual engine.
Must admit that I’m a little confused about the service intervals as I’ve seen some
People saying it’s 10000 miles or 18 months but that if the car does less than 6000
(Have also seen this stated as 9000) miles in a year it should have an oil change.
I’ve also read that they should have an oil change at 9000 miles or 1 year whichever comes
first.
