Every garage will find hundred of reasons why as soon as the car leaves their premises they don’t want to have anything to do with it anymore. I really don’t understand why people trust garages so blindly. it’s 2016, Skoda Superb, Diesel 1.6, 50k miles

Thanks for all the insights. The garage told me those warnings are: Oil change and service warning, plus car key battery replacement. They also said they will replace the timing belt and water pump (how do I check this was done?). I have got a feeling that independent car inspection is the only way forward so I know exactly the state of this car or other car and can make fact based decision. But if someone tells you after they already decided to advertise their car that they still need to do service, MOT, replace water pump and timing belt, change oil, top up AC and replace fob battery.... I think it's correct to assume it's better to walk away

Thank you. Garage said the car is due timing belt and water pump change, so those could be the indications. In regards to climate, I can only check when I have the car delivered. I should have 14 days return option if I find something is wrong. Any advice?

I am planning to buy this car and those are pictures provided by the seller. And I was interested to know what those error messages mean.

Can someone explain to me what are those status errors displayed on picture?
