Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Hyvät kesä- ja talvirenkaat. Ajokuntoinen ja tilava farmari. Ollut päivittäisajossa. Moottorilämmitin, sisätilapistoke ja ylläpitolaturi. Automaatti-ilmastointi, toimii. Vetokoukku. Huollettu viimeaikoina määrävälein. Sisusta varsin siisti. Ei vuotoja havaittu. Huoltokirja. Jakoketju on vaihdettu papereiden mukaan 11/2024 (ennen minun omistusta).

Tiedossa olevat viat:

Kylmänä käynnistettäessä moottorista kuuluu hetken nakuttava ääni, lämpimänä ääni häviää. Vetoakselin ulommat suojakumit ovat rikki. Korissa on ruostevaurioita ja elämän jälkiä. Ovianturi temppuilee. Ovet saa kuitenkin lukkoon ja auki. Autossa on ikäisekseen normaaleja käytön jälkiä. Helmat hiottu ja maalattu ruosteenestomaalilla hiljattain.
