Is it worth buying a diesel vehicle with 180,000km?
Hello everyone. I'm currently looking for a used car. I've already found a few that are in my price range. Since I'm looking for a used car, it's obvious that some of them have a bit of mileage. I've heard that diesel vehicles tend to run longer than petrol ones. For example, I found a Mercedes C-Class with 190,000 km, and an Audi A4 with 180,000 km. Do you think a purchase like that is worth it for €6,800 or €7,000?

With 1 – 2 pre-owners and relatively young from the year of construction, this should not be a problem if really everything is seamlessly checked. I’m going down 50,000km each year with my 2L diesel. I drove my last diesel to 300Tkm. Then I sold him because I wanted a new car. Technically, it was still top. So….try to buy a car that was moved a lot on the highway. Example:
I bought my Audi A4 B9 in 2018, now it has 150Tkm down. Every service has been made complete. You can buy such a car without thinking. But in 30Tkm, for example, the expensive toothed belt is on my side….
For example, I found a Mercedes C class with 190000km
Year of manufacture and performance?
The very old diesel in the C180 to BJ 2000 are famous for their longevity. There’s 190,000 km in the car.

He would have run about 16,000 km/year. It would then be important to know whether it has done more in short-haul or long-haul traffic. With a lot of short distance, I would be more skeptical, with a lot of long distance, the engine should run a lot more. Several 100,000 km are not unusual in this model.

Hello,
no one can tell you in advance.
You can also find good vehicles with significantly lower running performance for €4,000 to €5,000. However, if you have other requirements such as optics, equipment, etc., it will be harder.
As for running performance, I can recommend a 2.0 TDI engine.

Too expensive, even if you can safely unleash it is not an accident car. Also think about taxes, insurance, “gruene Plakette ect.” Where is D. e.g. Z. a driving ban for these vintage cars etc. …
PS: Diesel engines which have always been driven “grosse routes” keep much more lanky than gasoline. In diesel vehicles used in local transport (Summer&Winter, short distances, city car, second car, etc.), this advantage was deviated.
Such a car I would only buy from someone I know well or with warranty / warranty.
If the car has been operated correctly and not “tolerated”, regularly maintained and maintained, the engine can easily move the same distance again.
If not, it can be expensive after a short time.
If everything was done according to maintenance plan why not. However, with diesel you need to be careful that it is at least Euro 6 with Ad-Blue.
Otherwise you will pay a lot of tax. Driving bans in the future
Is from 2010 there is no Euro 6, but has already Euro 5
Both hopelessly too expensive!
Sure, you can buy an old diesel. Also with 300,000 km. But then it is relatively short before the expiry date.
Example: E-Class 320 CDI, 2003, 280.000 km, 3000,-€
You can drive this for years – but of course without guarantee!
This is drastically too expensive. At the latest in this vehicle output, the problems such as oil impermeabilities on crankshaft dimmering, light machine defects, water pump, cylinder head seal, worn diesel injectors begin.
The car would have to be given half.
It is only worthwhile if the car is so still in good time and well maintained and maintained.
If it’s suitable for my oldtimer museum, why not.
