8 selected
Priority High · Maintenance
Is the full maintenance logbook available, and may I see it?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: "I've lost it" or "it's not included" without further explanation.
Why you ask this
The maintenance logbook shows whether the car has been serviced on time.
Priority High · Damage
Has the car ever been damaged, and if so, was it professionally repaired?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: "No, never had any damage", without papers that show it.
Why you ask this
Earlier damage can lower the safety and the value of the car. That is especially true if the repair was not done properly.
Priority Medium · Ownership
Why are you selling the car?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: A vague or evasive answer without a clear reason.
Why you ask this
The reason for selling often gives an honest picture. It tells you whether there are problems.
Priority Medium · Maintenance
When was the car last inspected, and were there any points to watch?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: The seller cannot say anything clear about the last inspection.
Why you ask this
The points from the last inspection say something about the car's condition now.
Priority Medium · Maintenance
Have shock absorbers, springs, or control arms ever been replaced, and if so when?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: The seller gives an evasive answer: "I don't know" or "I never looked at that". Then look at this point extra closely.
Why you ask this
This is the most common failure category for this model. It covers cars that came on the road in the same year. That applies at age 6 years, in the 2025 British MOT figures. It is about 22.9% of the categorised defects. Within that category it most often concerned "A shock absorber damaged to the extent that it does not function or showing signs of severe leakage". That is the exact wording used in the British MOT test.
Priority Medium · Maintenance
When were the tyres last replaced? Are all four the same make and type?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: The seller gives an evasive answer: "I don't know" or "I never looked at that". Then look at this point extra closely.
Why you ask this
This is the most common failure category for this model. It covers cars that came on the road in the same year. That applies at age 6 years, in the 2025 British MOT figures. It is about 21.2% of the categorised defects. Within that category it most often concerned "Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements". That is the exact wording used in the British MOT test.
Priority Low · Ownership
How many keys come with the car?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: Uncertainty about exactly how many keys there are.
Why you ask this
Is a second key missing? That can point to earlier loss or theft. A new one also costs money.
Priority Low · Price
Is the asking price negotiable, and what is the lowest price you would accept?
Watch for this answer
Watch out for a suspicious answer: "The price is fixed", without any explanation. And that while the car has been for sale for a long time.
Why you ask this
This tells you straight away how much room there is to negotiate. You do not have to name a price first.

A sub-score of 100/100 means: no negative signals found. That does not prove perfection. A sub-score can be 100 even with little data about an item.
Notes on the score
The British MOT figures count towards the model reliability sub-score. At the measured ages this model fails about 1.5 times as often as the British average. That average covers all cars that came on the road in the same year. This lowers that sub-score by 4 out of 100, with a maximum of 8 points. The total purchase score comes out at 84/100.

British MOT data: this model fails more often than average
In Britain this model fails the first MOT test more often than average. It covers cars that came on the road in 2019. From age 3 they fail about 1.5 times as often as all British cars from that same year. We always compare within the same year of measurement. We see this pattern 4 years in a row, up to and including 2025. At the most recent measured point it mainly concerns suspension. On both sides we use the figures for Benzine.
Ask the seller
Has any work been done on these items in recent years, and are there invoices for it?
Check yourself
Have the car inspected before you buy. Point the inspector clearly at these items.
Why this matters
This is statistics about the MODEL, not a defect found on this car. It does show where this model has problems more often at this age. So pay extra attention to that at an inspection or test drive.
Known model issues
Severity goes from low through medium to high. The icon and the word say the same thing.

General wear from age
Repair costs€100 to €800
The older a car gets, the greater the chance of wear. This is about rubber and moving parts, such as suspension, drive shafts and gaskets. It applies to almost every make and model.
What you'll notice
clunking or creaking noises over bumps, light oil or fluid traces under the car
Ask the seller
Have any parts of the suspension, exhaust, or engine been replaced recently?
Check during the test drive
During the test drive, listen for unusual noises over bumps, while steering, and while braking.
Automated assessment: no source document for this claimGeneral model informationConfidence in this estimate: LowSeverity Low · Other
General wear from mileage
Repair costs€150 to €1,000
Parts that move wear with the distance driven. Think of the clutch, brakes and suspension. That applies to every make and model.
What you'll notice
reduced braking performance, vibrations while steering
Ask the seller
Which major maintenance jobs (clutch, timing belt/chain, brakes) have been carried out recently?
Check during the test drive
Test the braking behaviour and watch for vibrations in the steering wheel at different speeds.

German insurance class (GDV type class)
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), Tipo has KH 12-19 (scale 10-25), VK 10-19 (scale 10-34), TK 13-24 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 43 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.

What this report doesn't know (and how to find out for free)
Three things you can check yourself:
Earlier mileage readings
We do not see every earlier mileage reading. Ask the seller for service invoices and inspection reports that show the mileage. Compare those with the current reading.
Damage history
There is no public damage database we may use. So we do not invent one. Do you have doubts about earlier damage? Then have the car inspected independently by a qualified garage or inspection service.
Earlier maintenance and current condition
We cannot see what work has been done on the car. Nor how it stands today. Ask for the service book and the invoices. Judge the condition yourself when you view the car and on the test drive.
Missing information
Technical information about this model. We have no source for it.
This car was entered by hand and not checked with an official organisation.
No official earlier inspections are known for this country.
We have no earlier mileage readings to compare this reading with.
We could not check whether there are open recalls for this car.

This report is a tool, not a substitute for an inspection
The purchase score, the risk assessments and the advice in this report come from an automated analysis.
What the terms and liability say exactly
That analysis uses general model knowledge and the data available at that moment. This is not a technical inspection and gives no guarantee about the condition of the car. Plateop accepts no liability for decisions you take on the basis of this report. If in doubt, always have a car inspected by an independent expert before you decide.
