Vehicle Inspection Report Results

scottie · 18th July 2013, 13:01

Hi guys,

I used http://www.mviuk.co.uk (I'm not associated with them at all) to inspect the rover I have a sizeable deposit down on a £2000 Rover 75 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1811630136...84.m1438.l2649.

Pretty impressed with their service which included an HPI and MOT history check for £150 but sadly they advised not to buy the car. Here is the report: http://www.netclient.co.uk/Report.pdf

Any thoughts before I start trying to claw my deposit back?

If you paid by credit card contact them they will get it back for you.

reading the report that company did a thorough job on the inspection hope you get it sorted out soon

Put £100 on a Visa Debit and additional £400 on MasterCard. Hoping I can get both back now.

Glad to have caught this pre-purchase but gutted to be back at square one again!

They certainly seem to have done a decent report, and would agree with them regarding advising not to buy, it sounds in very poor state bodily and mechanically, I fear the clutch is on its way out and possibly the crankshaft pulley, so with just those two items you could spend £1000 and it sounds like its been used as a dodgem car.

There is plenty out there its just having the patience to look for the one that you want have a look at some of the club owners cars that come up often much loved and cherished,

Did you tell the seller that you were leaving the deposit subject to an Inspection?

I've noticed it's been relisted too.

Excellent comprehensive report if not a little picky in places but rather that than gloss over stuff, well worth the money I would say

Yes, pending inspection if anything big was found. I agreed a that the car is over a decade old so it would be unreasonable to cancel the sale due to minor issues.

He relisted it yesterday; a day before I received the report and roughly the time I understood the inspection occurred. I took that as a bad omen. When I mentioned it today he said this was automatically done by eBay which is not a feature I'm aware of.

He's going to ring me back to confirm; something about considering going to a garage to contest the findings and if they disagree I am still on the hook. It is looking like I may end up having to cancel the cc payment and try to do the same with debit card. Not sure of my chances on that and deeply regret having put that on a debit card.
