Default Good Looking Vehicle for Sale

I found this and thought it looked great, but the advert carries no information other than what is fitted as standard, nor recent work, then looked at the MOT history; well this all took place pretty quick.

Been for sale for a couple of months at least. Right up my street but I’ve got a nagging doubt about it. Looks superb but is it?

Not sure there's anything on that fail sheet that would take that long.

Clean the headlights, change a bulb, change a shock (maybe just a loose/missing nut), replace fuel filter (in fact why not do a service?) change some brake pads and adjust the handbrake.

Oil leak could be anything. Probably just the o ring at the bottom of the dipstick tube.

But why leave the child seat in? It's gone in the photos.

If you want to see a real fail list, followed by the true one from a garage that wasn't trying to rip me off go look up my Diesel tourer - AJ52WKZ

That doesn’t seem too bad. The tourer I mean.

The one you posted. The fixes are relatively straightforward. MOt testers always make things sound a lot worse then they are.

OK - compare the fail from the 12th to the fail from the 13th; and note that all I did was drive to another MOT station - the one I used to use when I lived in Bedfordshire.

I’m getting mixed up. I meant the one in the first post. I thought it was you that posted it. But, it was planenut.

What do you want for £800?

Personally, I gave one of these away four years ago, and it still comes back to haunt me
