Check for abnormal knocking, persistent exhaust smoke, oil/coolant leaks, head-gasket leakage and signs of overheating. Please include a cooling-system pressure test where possible, and advise whether a combustion-gas test is warranted. Timing-belt history: Check any available invoices for the belt, tensioners/idlers and water pump. If replacement cannot be verified, please estimate the cost of the necessary work. Clutch, gearbox and AWD: Check clutch slip, gearbox noise or grinding, differential leaks/noise, tight-turn binding, CV joints and wheel bearings. Confirm the AWD drivetrain is intact and assess tyre matching. Safety and structure: Check brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, underbody rust and evidence of significant accident repairs. Identify likely RWC repairs and their approximate costs. Fault codes: Scan with a compatible diagnostic tool and report relevant stored faults and warning-light issues.
