Mileage and servicing
What the odometer does and doesn't tell you here, plus the service items whose neglect causes the expensive failures above.
Distance suits it and these were carefully owned, so a thick service folder is common and worth insisting on.

|---|---|---|
| Engine oil The foundation of this engine's long life | on time | €80–120 |
| Electric power steering Worth checking for warning lights | on a test drive | €400–900 |
