Hi,

This vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I'm not familiar with it. However, what you have described as far as the brakes don't sound like anything more than brake pads and rotors will need to be replaced.

Here is a link that explains in general how they would be replaced:

As far as the oil leak, is it coming from a place you can identify? Also, is the rest of the vehicle in good condition?

I'm not comfortable getting a car online, personally. It is too easy to hide things. However, that doesn't mean in this case there will be problems.

Let me know.
