hi folks
need a newer car and seen an multipla eleganza m-jet 1910 09 reg at the auction
i'll only bid for it if it comes in cheap enough,
as you know not much you can check at the auction, so do these normally run ok
is there anything to look/listen for when I look over the car
thanks
Buying at auction has its own risks as its very much not hands on.
Can you view the service history ? What's the mileage ?
If I was buying at auction, I would look at what I could see :
Tyres and alloy wheels condition
Brake disc condition.
Brake Pad condition.
When its started up, ask driver to rev it a bit and look for white or blue smoke.
Any warning lights on the dashboard after starting up.
Interior condition.
Ask driver to test leccy windows / folding mirrors and sunroofs if fitted
See if the steering wheel is centred and check from wheel tracking visually.
Any running engine noises.
Ask driver to pop the bonnet open, check dip stick and levels of the brake fluid, coolant and power steering fluid, dirty or clean engine bay.
Pollen filter cover, has it been ever removed, mine was never opened till I bought mine.
Check condition underneath of the DPF as this plate will deffo have one.
Look underneath at rear and check if spare wheel there, many are robbed in auction houses.
Sure another forum user will chip in with more things to check.
Interesting to see what it sells for, as Multipla values being on the up lately.
