Used Suzuki Swift Sport 1.6 with very low milage,any issues?

[silles]

I'm checking a car the weekend , it's a 2016 SSS 1.6 with only 2000 miles.

Could there be an issues?
like - the engine was never properly run in, condensation never dries out, rust,, etc?

any thoughts?

The running in period is 600 miles.

It's a Suzuki - so I am sure it will be fine.

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.

It’s a 3/4 year old car. It’s japanese. It will be fine.
If it was a 20 year old French car then I might be worried.

Look at some Porsche’s/Lambos etc. They may only do 2000miles in 10 years and I’ve no doubt they’re fine.

Buy it, get it serviced, enjoy.

2000 miles with just minimal mileage each year or 2000 miles done at new and then left in a garage for 4 years?

Either way should be ok, but will have to be treated slightly differently.

Got the service history, looks like it was not just standing. Even miles between services

Check the tyres arnt in a bad condition from just sitting for long periods of time. Otherwise, change the oil and filter, maybe get the battery checked, and go and use it

too late, the car has been sold ... i checked it and i did not like the condition, all 4 wheels were scuffed and had a few door dings.

Few posts about SSS's recently especially the ZC32 model (that's the shape you keep looking at)

Have you looked at the owners group on facebook, I actually help run it and the buy / sell page and several are always for sale that could meet criteria.
