Mileage
Cars with mileage over 100,000 km may require a more thorough inspection before purchase.

We recommend obtaining a condition report to accurately assess the vehicle’s technical state and any future expenses.

In such cases, there may be hidden risks related to safety or the structural integrity of the vehicle. When considering such options, it is essential to exercise caution and thoroughly assess potential repair costs. We strongly recommend obtaining a detailed condition report on the vehicle or contacting Autoplatforma specialists for consultation to evaluate all potential risks before purchasing.
