Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 167,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2016 Rapid diesels are the 1.6 TDI VW-group engine paired with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual and are designed for efficient motorway cruising. As a diesel, watch for DPF/EGR/turbo soot issues if the car has mainly done short urban trips; clutch and timing-belt maintenance history is important on a 10-year-old manual. Parts are common and reasonably priced across Ireland because it shares components with other VW‑Group models.
- DPF condition and regeneration history — ask if the car has regular long runs or any recent DPF replacement/clean
- EGR valve and turbo for soot build-up or oil leaks (common on high-mileage/short-trip diesels)
- Clutch engagement and pedal feel for slipping or heavy wear — manuals at 10 years often need replacement if used in town
- Timing-belt (and water pump) service history — confirm it was replaced to avoid a costly failure
- Underbody and rear arches for corrosion, and check rear shock absorbers for wear or uneven tyre wear
