Just seen this car. I love the colour of the seats but does need a little bit of work plus not sure on mileage

That's Deep Sea Green, a Personal Line trim.

From the ad:

"This car is in excellent condition" - the MOT history would suggest otherwise.

"Extremely low miles" - 134,000 (recorded at last failed MOT) doesn't seem particularly low to me.

Thats a very optimistic price for a MOT failure with loads of faults, but if someone wants it for the interior they could try a very low offer. What are scrappers offering at the moment £100 ?

[75 car girl]

I was thinking after reading all the faults about £150

Is there anything any good on it? How can anything be any good, serviced, if it has four useless tyres on it? Rubbish more like.

The green interior maybe worth looking at if the price is right.

That's some failure list , although a fair number of those are bulbs or lights which you think would have been evident before even putting it in for a MOT - why for the sake of a £2 bulb would you put it in knowing it would be a failure.

I recall my old ZT had an MOT failure because an indicator 'wasn't orange enough', all it was was that some of the orange coating had fallen off, so think the tester was being very pernickety.

The orange bulbs could just be being very fussy. My car failed on indicator bulbs not orange enough. They were new bulbs last year, when I changed them I compared them to the new bulbs, they were identical. I refitted the 'old' bulbs and kept the new ones for spares, took it for a retest, same tester, and it passed without issue. One advisory was for one of the horn buttons not working, it hasn't for years, first time it's been mentioned, and I always go to the same place for mot's.
