Katsastettu 6/2026, seuraava katsastus kesällä 2027. Huolto tehty juuri (moottoriöljy, öljynsuodatin, raitisilmasuodatin, jarrunesteet). Jakohihna vaihdettu 9.1.2025 / 259793 km. Hyväkuntoiset kesä- ja talvirenkaat, molemmat kevytmetallivanteilla. Talvirenkaiden vanteiden lakkapinta vähän syöpynyt suolasta, mutta vaikuttaa ainoastaan ulkonäköön. Kesärenkaissa vanteet hyvässä kunnossa. Korissa ikäisekseen normaalia käytön jälkeä ja kiveniskemiä. Helmoissa on alkavaa ruostetta. Katsastuksessa havaittu vasemman helman pieni ruostevaurio/reikä on korjattu heinäkuussa. CD-soitin ei toimi, mutta muuten radio, aux-3,5mm, USB/(MP3) ja muu audiojärjestelmä toimii normaalisti. Tuulilasi ehjä. Kytkin toimii normaalisti. Vain 2 omistajaa. Kiinteä vetokoukku.
