That's well spotted, I wonder what the story is because on the face of it a criminal deception. Chris.S.

That's some haircut. Its done a lot of miles over the years, about 30k a year

Guardian50 · 23rd October 2017, 14:07

I've messaged the seller about the MOT history and mileage discrepancy, he hasn't replied so far.

23rd October 2017, 14:24

i would buy it because it does look nice

He's selling a Ford KA as well, and guess what, that's lost some miles too!!!! Although not as drastic as the ZT.

I wonder if the KA's is a mot typo, as if it was a 2 rather than a 3 it would go up the 3k a year it normally does?
