Used car
2022 Jeep Compass
35,368 km, score 77.5, 265 checkpoints
Do not drive it home until the brakes are done
The car is sound underneath and well kept inside. Two things stand between you and it: brakes that are worn through, and seven panels that have been repainted.

Used car
2013 Toyota Fortuner
88,778 km (service book), score 68.5, 265 checkpoints
Structurally sound, but budget for tyres and ask about four insurance claims
Underbody, engine and gearbox are clean. The body tells the story: three repainted panels that line up exactly with insurance repairs in the service book, four tyres at the end of their life, and insurance that lapsed in August 2025.

Used car
2022 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
23,774 km (service book), score 72.5, 265 checkpoints
A young car with a hard-used feel. Ask how it was used before you negotiate
Four years old and under 24,000 km on the service book, yet the tyres are near the limit, the brakes are low, the steering has excessive free play and the exhaust smokes black. The paint is original; one bumper was replaced under an insurance claim.

Used car
2017 Renault Duster
1,33,093 km, score 60, 264 checkpoints
Think twice before buying
A hard-working diesel at 1.33 lakh km with an active glow-plug fault, a check-engine light that keeps coming back, engine noise, low oil, a repainted right side and heavy steering free play. The service book shows a car kept running, with many recommended repairs declined.

Used car
2016 Skoda Octavia
41,690 km (service book), score 72.5, 264 checkpoints
Low kilometres, original paint. Fix the brakes and ask about the airbag
Original paint on every panel and only about 42,000 km, but the brakes are worn with a squeal, the front suspension is noisy, the insurance lapsed in 2024, and the driver airbag was replaced at the last dealer visit without a reason on record.

Used car
2014 Skoda Octavia
67,336 km (service book), score 85.5, 267 checkpoints
A well-documented car. Negotiate on the brakes and the jobs left pending
One owner, twelve years at one dealer, nothing hidden: three accident repairs, gearbox and water-pump work done under goodwill, and a string of small jobs the owner declined. Today the brakes are low, an idle fault code is pending and the accessory belt chirps.

New car PDI
2026 Skoda Kylaq
4 km, score 98.5, 265 checkpoints
The car is right. Take delivery on your terms
4 km on the clock and one scratch on the whole vehicle. Everything mechanical, structural and cosmetic came back clean. Accept, once the scratch is fixed.
