There might be some wear and tear-clutch plates or brake pads-neither would cost much. The tyres too might be reaching end of their life if the car is nearer to 60,000 km, so you need to factor that spend in your purchase.. If you are in the market for a used Maruti Dzire with high mileage, check for noisy suspension, inability to soak undulations and a noisy cabin.
