•Verify full cambelt replacement history with receipts, walk away if unknown or overdue
•Start engine cold and listen for injector chuffing, turbo whine, or oil pressure warning lights
•Remove oil filler cap and check for white emulsion or thick sludge indicating neglect
•Inspect the turbo oil feed pipe for signs of carbon blockage or previous replacement
•Check all around the engine bay and underside for active oil leaks, especially rocker cover and injector area
•Perform a mechanical oil pressure test or request diagnostic scan for oil pressure fault codes
•Ask which power tune the car has (90, 110, 112 or 115hp) and cross check against the build date, later DPF-equipped 115hp units received turbo and injector revisions

Do not choose a DV6 purely on advertised hp. The 115hp DV6C, introduced from 2009, benefits from a revised turbo and injector seal design that genuinely reduces (not eliminates) the chuffing and turbo oil feed pipe problems seen on the earlier 90hp and 110hp tunes. Regardless of power output, the cambelt replacement history is the deciding factor: any DV6 without documented cambelt and waterpump replacement within the last 120,000 km or 5 years should be priced as a car needing immediate work, not a bargain.
