Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Auto on ostettu Pohjois-Ruotsista noin vuonna 2018, jolloin sillä oli ajettu noin 150 000 km. 2x renkaat alumiinivanteilla. Nokian Hakkapeliitta -talvirenkaat ovat hyvässä kunnossa. Kesärenkailla ajaa vielä yhden kesäkauden ennen vaihtotarvetta. Kyseessä on 2.0 FSI -bensamoottori, joka on pitkäikäinen moottori, kun jakohihna vaihdetaan noin 120 000–150 000 km välein ja öljyhuollot tehdään suunnitellusti. Moottori käy hyvin ja on edelleen virkeä ajossa. Huollot on tehty tarpeen mukaan, ja öljynvaihtoja on tehty jopa tiheämmin kuin huoltokirja edellyttäisi. Moottori on vaihdettu vuonna 2020 noin 178 000 km kohdalla, ja samalla uusittiin jakohihna sekä vesipumppu. Kytkin on uusittu arviolta vuonna 2021. Alustaan on vuosien aikana vaihdettu useita uusia osia, muun muassa jouset eteen ja taakse sekä jarrulevyt ja jarrupalat. Haldex-huolto on tehty 08/2026 ja viimeisin öljyhuolto syksyllä 2025. Kori on ikäisekseen hyvässä kunnossa. Ruostetta on alkanut näkyä parissa kohdassa, mutta ei mitään suurempaa. Autossa on pari sähkövikaa, mutta ne eivät ole ainakaan omassa käytössäni aiheuttaneet ongelmia tai haittaa ajamiseen. Kokonaisuutena hyvä, tilava ja nelivetoinen käyttöauto, jota on huollettu ja korjattu tarpeen mukaan. Auto tarjoaa varmasti seuraavalle käyttäjälle vielä monta turvallisia kilometriä ja palvelee hyvin monta vuotta eteenpäin.
