    My king that thing you were pointing is the engine mounting it was leaking and needs to be changed hence the engine was vibrating

      Thanks. I was questioning the stain. I'm a healthcare worker by profession, i can only see something that's abnormal😁And not go too technical about. Thanks, We learn as we go. Peace💯

    The mileage is a big red flag especially if it doesn't have a full service history.

    • @ThembaOnWheels
      @ThembaOnWheels  19 дней назад +1

      service was there but was taken late. And the mileage is indicative or something that shouldnt be ignored

    To me, mileage is a sign of reliability. A 2018 model and has just under 50K kilometres? What was it not doing?

    • @ThembaOnWheels
      @ThembaOnWheels  18 дней назад

      You may ask again, and the car misses service in 2019, 2020, and 2023.

    • @skhumbuzomsweli849
      @skhumbuzomsweli849 18 дней назад +1

      @ThembaOnWheels You also mentioned that it skipped the service with a whopping 4K kilometres and was still under service plan. That mileage is equivalent to 4 months. With the 3 visible screws missing. Surely something was wrong.

      They reversed the kilos sure,or it was salvaged and put new engine ,missing screws are indication that the engine was overhauled 😊

      Yes it is not there, but i didn't even check😂Since we weren't gonna buy the but just wanted to create content. I will one day include all things that are supposed to the there, Thanks

    Those kilometres are not make sure, it should be above 90 000 KS, or more than 6 services because the car must be serviced after a 15000km or once a year, it depends on which one comes first
    Na khensa 😊

      @gamersquadlifestyle 19 дней назад

      The Kilometres are fine looking at the wear of the vehicle but its clear the car had a bit of a fender bender with a bit of respray probably a insurance quality job clearly looking at the the missing bolts especially the one at the fire wall although the missing one under the air intake could be a clumsy mechanics fault. Though 48 000km with not that many services screams a women previous owner who serviced it according to the service intervals let alone them keeping track of the intervals or a older retired person which to me its all normal especially in that champagne colour which says alot

      @@gamersquadlifestyle yes the kilos might be right but we have to check the service book, a car must be serviced at least once a year whether you've reached the 15000 kilos or not, it must be serviced, if in a year there was no service then you have to be careful

      @@fostermaluleke9371 agreed 💯. But it's clear that the prior owner didn't know much about cars so I doubt they knew that especially with them driving for an additional 4000km on the first service considering the car was obviously under warranty and maintenance plan

    • @ThembaOnWheels
      @ThembaOnWheels  19 дней назад +2

      You must wait, the car missed services and the bolts and screws a red flag. Low mileage on an old car with missing services is a red flag. Its not Bobby's problem. It's a problem of the previous owner. Don't comment just for the sake of saying something..

    First things first you can't be giving car advice if you don't even know what is an 'engine mounting'...
    Low kms in a car are not a red flag in as much as high kms aren't a green flag, personally I drive 80kms to work and back daily some of my colleagues drive only 10kms, therefore what I do on the daily basis they don't do even in a week basis.

    • @ThembaOnWheels
      @ThembaOnWheels  19 дней назад +5

      Look, it doesn't matter what Engine component I know, but one thing I'm sure about I can spot a car not with buying. This car was supposed to have done at least 6 services. Every year the car must go for service despite the odometer reading 15000km. Low mileage isn't a problem, but not over many years with missing services. I'm a pharmacist by profession, I'm not a mechanic, I do have knowledge on these things by the way. Your point was just to discredit my content😂....I wasn't asking about the mounting but the stain.
