HistoryProvenance
Method: mileage pace is the listed odometer divided by model-year age. The comparison benchmark is average annual household-vehicle mileage for the same age band from the DOE/ORNL Transportation Energy Data Book, Table 9.9 ↗. Shown or TMU odometers are labeled and never treated as verified lifetime mileage.
Known-issue check
These are documented model/platform inspection points—not a claim that this vehicle has the problem. “Not stated” means the listing or history reviewed does not prove the item has been addressed.
| Documented model issue / inspection point | Evidence source | Evidence it was addressed on this car |
|---|---|---|
| Inspect wheel arches, floors and sunroof surrounds for corrosion, especially on humid-climate cars | Auto Express 505 buyer guide | Not stated in the listing/history reviewed |
| Cooling-system condition is critical because trapped air and hot spots have been linked to cracked cylinder heads | Auto Express 505 buyer guide | Not stated in the listing/history reviewed |
Before you buy
Use the original listing and vehicle-history documentation to verify current availability, mileage, ownership history, service work, modifications and condition. A missing market benchmark or an issue marked “not stated” should be treated as an unanswered due-diligence question—not as a defect or a negative score.
