Hi,

Looking at buying a used 2011 desiel grand vitara with 80,000km on it and has had the timing belt major service done plus full service history.
Wondering if this will be a good car? I have read the earlier models had issues.

What's a common issue and will I get a solid amount of kms out of this car?

Driving is for touring and beach work plus a daily driver.

Regards,

Tim

It's good that the timing belt has been done. Rear main seal commonly seep in these, mine has been seeping since I've had it even though the dealer I got it from reckons they replaced it after I took it back to them.
I have a 2010, got it with 40,000kms and it's just on 138,000kms so nearly put on 100,000kms and in that time trouble free apart from my dpf crapped itself last new years eve. I do alot of towing and highway km's so the dpf would always get a clean out, So once that happened I had always said I'd delete it if I had issues with it.
So for less than the price of dpf replacement I got it deleted and remapped and it is a totally different car.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. The car I was looking at got sold unfortunately. I would still love to find one of these, just seems quite rare to find
