General Thinking About Buying A Stilo JTD

[Roswell]

I’m thinking about buying a 52 plate Stilo 1.9 JTD Dynamic 3 door. The car has covered 90,000 miles and has a full MOT.

What do I need to know?

What are the common faults with this model?

Thanks in advance

You'll want to verify timing belt has been changed (and also done properly) so critical to check service history.

the overboost vavle is a common issue, only one i had on my... bar chrassing it :-S.

just take it for a test drive and don't be afraid to give it some, my overboost valve was clogged up and the turbo would cut out over 3.5K revs when giving it a bit of whelly. the garage i bought it from cleaned it up for me and its been fine ever since.
