if the answer is yes read on,
but sometimes things can be a lot more serious, many years ago I advised Chrome Dome not to buy a secondhand BMW 535i, one of the reasons was that it had cloth seats amongst others, but he bought it anyway, it staggered from one breakdown to another, the engine and airconditioning were the main issues that had to replaced but the list went on and on, maybe he was just unlucky, but this report rings so true of his experience of his second hand BMW, as an aside here is a list of failures the report was compiled from Which? magazine,
newer cars off the road for repair longest, under 3 years old,
Peugeot 3008
Land Rover Discover 4
Alfa Romeo Guiletta
BMW 3 series convertible
Citroen 5
older cars off the road for repair longest, from 4 to 8 years old,
BMW 3 series convertible
Land Rover Discovery 5
BMW 5 series Touring
Volvo XC90 (that was a surprise I did not think a Volvo would feature on a list like this)
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
so there you have it, a few cars it might be prudent to avoid on the secondhand market, but here is the good news armed with this article there might be a few pounds to be knocked off of some of the cars featured here if you fancy taking a chance.
