5 Essential Checks Before Buying a Used Duet

1. Inspect for Rust: Thoroughly check the wheel wells, door sills, and undercarriage.

2. Verify Timing Belt History: This must be changed every 80,000 km. Ask for receipts.

3. Beware of Odometer Fraud: Assume mileage may be tampered with. Judge condition by wear on the pedal, steering wheel, and seats.

4. Test Drive for Transmission: Listen for whining from the gearbox and ensure smooth gear changes.

5. Check for Smoke: Blue exhaust smoke on startup indicates worn piston rings (expensive repair).
