Hi there,

I am currently looking at this car above. Is there any specific problems with this model (particularly around the CVT Transmission)? And what is your advice for buying a car with high mileage like this one?

Hi Lena,
Generally these are good, popular vehicles. However they are prone to develop a transmission shudder which can generally be cured with using genuine transmission fluid and an additive. But if any more than this, it can be expensive. Vehicles with this high mileage may start costing more money to keep on the road, regular servicing up to this point may dictate the longevity of the engine and transmission components from here on in.
