And if there are any issues of Fit gp5 please advice. Expand The topic of GP5 has been discussed over and over again specially about the DCT issue that it shares in common with the vezel. Please search for the keyword GP5 on the forum search. Additional keywords like DCT issue GP5, Engine warning lights GP5 etc may help id recommend lower the mileage better as always, but sri lankan grey imports have reversed mileage (even the ones with fake JAAI/JEVIC certificates have done over 100k and the meter shows 25-30K) . so check around, maybe get someone with a good obd2 scanner to help you out in figuring out the real mileage. As for the well known DCT issue, the replacement comes at around 40K intervals( depends on how well you use it, could be lower), But now people are more aware and know how to maintain this to extend the mileage before the DCT fails. The clutch plate replacement requires the car to learn the new clutch so be aware that you cant to this repair with makabaas engineering. Car itself is decent and as for the options you get more car for your money compared to other hatches in the budget. Do note that since sterling is pretty expensive if you end up having to change the battery or do your DCT repairs there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You can't get to know the actual mileage even by scanning via the agents scan tool as far as I know. You only know the mileage traveled by the car since the DCT was reset/ cleared. That is the mileage traveled after clearing all error codes etc. However, it can provide you with a hint that the mileages have been tampered with, if the system has not been cleared for a mileage greater than what is displayed in the odometer of the car. But, when it comes to the GP5, the dying 12V battery usually throw in a bunch of error/ warning indicators and that might need resetting the system. Therefore, hoping to identify the correct mileage of a car via this method by far is a long shot. Guess, it will be luck if you can catch mileage tampering from that Edited July 15, 2020 by Dee Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
