Should I trust a seller saying he has serviced this Opel Astra?

Hello there,

I would like to buy a 2007 Opel Astra SXi with around 56,000km on the clock. The seller cannot provide any proof of maintenance since he bought it but says that he has done everything. I can see that one belt has been changed (looks new), but I cannot see for the timing belt. Should I do something special or just trust him?

Thanks for your assistance

How do I tell if a car is clocked?

Hi,

If I am buying a second-hand car, is it possible to tell if the clock has been tampered with and if the mileage is genuine? I know the best way to go is to buy from a reputable dealer, but can they guarantee the mileage on the clock is genuine?

Thanks
