Tyre damage, oil leak, transmission jerks
Asking price: €5 000
inspection completed
What we found
- Tyre sidewall damage; the front left tyre finding is marked critical
- Oil leaking from the valve cover; the alternator belt needs replacing
- Start-up noise, an uneven idle and blue smoke when revving
- Unusual exhaust noise and smell; the inspector recorded that the catalytic converter needs replacing
- Jerks and delays when changing gear, with slipping: revs rise without matching acceleration
- Pulling to the right, suspension knocks, uneven body panel gaps and areas of corrosion
Inspector's conclusion
At an asking price of €5,000, the inspection found issues with the tyres, engine, exhaust and transmission. This was more than age-related cosmetic wear: oil leakage, uneven engine operation and slipping under acceleration were documented. All these findings matter when assessing the work ahead.
