What will this car really cost you?
The sticker price is only the beginning. Model fuel, servicing, depreciation and the expensive failures sellers never mention, over the next five years.

Hidden wear & risk factors
Short city trips wear the DPF, EGR and clutch hard. Highway driving is gentle on almost everything.

Warning: Diesel with 60% city driving
Short trips stop the DPF from regenerating and soot up the EGR. This raises your 5-year DPF & EGR failure risk by ~€660 versus mostly-highway use.
AWD fluid schedule
Change the transfer case and differential fluids every ~60,000 km. It is the cheapest insurance against a costly drivetrain rebuild.
