Used Suzuki Swift Sport 1.6 with very low milage,any issues?
Discussion
i found this on the internet:
"1. Low mileage cars do rust. You get condensation in the box sections. It NEVER dries out. they rust badly. And you cannot see it until it breaks through the metal.
2. Brake pipes rust. Obvious.
3. Exhaust brackets corrode and crack .. and will do when driven frequently. Often this means new downpipes...
4. catalysts if fitted can be clogged up with soot.
5. Steel radiators rust. Badly . And if antifreeze is not changed everything silts up. Check antifreeze.
6. Engines get internal condensation. If oil and filter are changed yearly (SWMBO's for example) not an issue. If not bearings gone.
7. Engine seals harden and wear with a fixed position if motionless for long periods. Then an oil change using semi synthetic oil = oil leaks. You CANNOT test for this.
8. Brake fluid will corrode ABS and cylinders if not changed every two years. Worse for a little used car.
9. Sumps do rust: often very badly.
