The gearbox that they use aren't well known for reliability,gearbox oil cooler lines get blocked,coolant leak issues,random electrical problems,and of course,air suspension problems.

06 year onwards are a 'better' car.

That will change quickly if he buys that

Can you still fill up with LPG at any petrol stations nowadays? I though those days were long gone

I am in no way knowledgeable enough to offer mechanical advice here

But it seems to me at that if you really want a cheap SUV you would want to open your search filters to include diesel and suffer any low emissions city charges you may encounter sporadically

Reduce the mileage a bit and take the upper limit off the age range

In other words the youngest lowest mileage example within budget and open yourself up to other makes that may be a bit more reliable

I did it myself and there are quite a few options actually
