Recommendation
Fair price, but high mileage and unresolved recalls warrant caution
The asking price is within fair market range, but the unusually high annual mileage, lack of any registry verification, and unconfirmed recall fixes mean the buyer should negotiate and inspect carefully before committing.

✅ Before you buy
❓ Questions to ask the seller
- Can you provide service records showing how the 285,000 km were accumulated, and confirm the annual usage pattern (e.g., commuting, taxi/commercial use)?
- Has this VIN had the seatbelt fixing cable, EGR cooling circuit, handbrake, and wiper-arm recall fixes applied? Do you have documentation?
- Has the automatic (Powershift) transmission had any service, fluid changes, or repairs given the mileage?
- Why is the car being sold now, and how many previous owners has it had?
- Is the car currently registered and free of any driving restrictions, and when is the next besiktning due?
- Are you willing to put agreed terms and current mileage into the köpekontrakt?
🔍 Inspection checklist
- Verify VIN against manufacturer's recall database to confirm which of the four campaigns have been completed
- Check automatic transmission for smooth shifting, delayed engagement, or unusual noises given known Powershift wear concerns at high mileage
- Inspect service book/receipts for consistency with the 285,000 km reading and to assess rollback risk
- Test drive checking suspension, bushings, and brakes for wear consistent with high mileage
- Confirm current besiktning status and next due date with the seller or via registry lookup
- Inspect seatbelt fixing cables for visible wear given the related recall
- Check for rust/corrosion typical of high-mileage Swedish-driven cars, especially underbody and wheel arches
