Know what you’re buying

Turbocharged engine

A turbocharger boosts power from a smaller engine. Regular oil changes with the right oil matter more on turbo engines.

  • Ask for oil-change records and check the oil grade used matches the specification below.
  • Listen for whistling or rattling under acceleration.
  • Look for blue smoke from the exhaust when accelerating hard.

Shown because: published engine. General guidance for this type of car, not a report on this car.

CVT automatic gearbox

A continuously variable transmission has no fixed gears. Smoothness and correct fluid changes are what to check.

  • Feel for shudder, slipping or hesitation when pulling away and at steady speed.
  • Ask when the CVT fluid was last changed and which fluid was used.
  • Listen for whining that rises with speed.
