Best of luck with your mot! I too would echo the sentiments of the other club members. We have a 2010 Renault Scenic for family duties. It carries the dog and kids perfectly. However it has no soul and drives horribly. It's of an age where auto electronic handbrake mean you need a diagnostic computer to change rear brake pads! Every thing on it is built to a low cost and finite life span, I think we're reaching it..... It's cost more in repairs over the past year and 6k miles than my diesel 75 has in the last 5 years and 40k miles. Come to think of it the cost of repair has exceeded the purchase cost of the 75 5 years ago too, and that's with me doing all the repairs not requiring diagnostic computers.
Modern cars are complicated things which aren't expected to last more than 7-10 years. With the support available within this club I honestly believe keeping a 75 going is cheaper than a car say 10 years newer.
