The Carvise assessment
The vehicle is in poor condition considering its age and mileage. It shows clear signs of inadequate maintenance and care. A budget should be set aside for the repairs needed to make it reliable and pass the technical inspection.
Our recommendations
Two essential points: 1. Replace the timing belt and carry out a full service with fresh fluids to establish a sound maintenance baseline. 2. Before the technical inspection, address at least the identified problems with the dipped headlights, registration plate lights, reversing lights and front fog lights.
