Renault Austral in Denmark

Before you buy a used Renault Austral

1. 01

   Check the latest syn and odometer

   Look at the most recent syn, which is the Danish periodic inspection, and compare its odometer reading with the seller’s mileage claim. If the car has just had an omsyn, ask to see the related paperwork.

2. 02

   Check leasing status carefully

   31% of Danish Australs are leased, so confirm whether the car is being sold from a lease or after lease return. Ask for the contract status and make sure the seller can transfer the car cleanly.

3. 03

   Check for import and previous number plates

   If the plate check shows that the car was imported used or has had previous number plates, ask for the full background from the seller. Imported cars can be perfectly fine, but the documents should match the car.

4. 04

   Check age against mileage

   These cars are very new on average, but mileage still matters more than age alone. For a used SUV, compare the odometer with the car’s age and the type of use you expect.

5. 05

   Check service book and invoices

   The plate check does not show service history, so ask the seller for the service book and invoices. These documents help you see whether routine maintenance has been done on time.

6. 06

   Check earlier inspection reports and any debt yourself

   The plate check only shows the latest syn, not earlier inspection history. If you want more detail, check earlier inspection reports at findsynsrapport.esyn.dk and debt or liens in Bilbogen at tinglysning.dk.
