newer should almost always = better. but buying newer almost always = more expensive
to me you can buy 1 year from manufactured date but make its sealed and kept away from sunlight. never seen any shop put under sunlight though. lol
about the servicing. its totally up to your car's condition. its really hard to answer. maybe sort of like asking when to wash your car, simple answer would be when its dirty. but how dirty? dried mud all over area dirty or when got bird poo on it?
cars will have wear and tears, thats a fact. some items are almost directly proportional to miles covered, like the timing belts, tyres, brake pads, air filter, cabin filter, engine oil + oil filter, auto/cvt fluids, these all for sure need replace. best way is to get it checked while doing some other stuff. like while changing oil, ask them to inspect brake pads, if need change then change. for tyres can check tread indicator and km'a covered. other than that, try and see the service booklet, after how many km and what they replace. example: air filter ganti every 30,000km tyres every 75,000km or 5 years whichever comes first
but this is all very rough guidelines only. it all depends on your car. after 150,000km or 200,000km most manufacturer suggest for overhaul to make sure there's no gasket or oil seal leaks
oh another important note. do check how you use your car. if stuck in traffic 1 hour a day, you are very much suggested to check again your odometer. 5,000km clocked on a car with severe traffic jams everyday might just be the same as a car that clocked 7,000km on a cruising highway everyday
Nice explanation...how about cars with very low mileage? Like 15k in 3 years. If following the standard schedule, i never have to do major service or change parts.to me you can buy 1 year from manufactured date but make its sealed and kept away from sunlight. never seen any shop put under sunlight though. lol
