Hi. Am looking at a 4 yr old v6 s coupe this weekend. Have done some research on potential issues on here and have found window scratches,centre vent, rusting cross braces and panel alignment. Beyond this are there any other major items to look out for beyond the normal things to check when buying a used car?
Any advice appreciated so i can check out and hopefully join the club
Thanks in advance
Used 2015 f type coupe v6s
Wouldn’t take much notice of rusting cross braces - much newer cars than that will have corrosion and I’ve not heard of a case where’s it’s anything more than surface only
Some cars had sticking door handles as in not popping out. If going for one with an active exhaust (great option!) then listen out for any squeaks / scraping sounds when the valves open - that’s a sign of a new back box for some or some DIY on the valves - quite a few cases on the forum
In general a great car and nothing absolutely major. As long as service history checks out then good luck and enjoy!

History checks available if that helps.

If it's an online advert then if you post the link I can have a look anyway. I can find reg numbers from adverts and pictures even if it isn't known or listed. If not then happy viewing.

Listen for squeaky exhaust. Probably issues with the active exhaust valves and need a new back box. Factor in £1600 plus fitting
Happy hunting and don’t rush. Get the right spec based on condition and extras you want. Active exhaust, memory seats, whatever it is you want
