MOT: April 2015

Location: Birmingham

Price: £400

I brought the car in 2010 with 65000 miles on the clock for a lady owner, I am the third owner from new. However it wasn’t driven very much 5 miles every other day. The breather was all blocked and the tappets where noisy. I fixed the problems and the car has served me very well but it’s time to move on I’m in need of some funds to purchase a 5 door car.

Very good on MPG and has been unmolested. I have serviced the car with good quality parts and oil.

I can have a look at putting a MOT but anywork carried out i have to put the price up a little to recover the cost. it depends on what it is. It should be alot though.

Gearbox is fine changed the clutch and only use it on the weekends and when i can't car share with the girlfriend. The last big run it had was three trips to Sheffield and back for site work three weeks ago.

The only time I had it leak is when I park it on my mum's drive for about two weeks and the car was facing down hill and the water collected in the wind deflected and came in a little.

I just regresed the runner on the roof to make it open more smoothly.

The only thing I would do is change the tyres as i don't like them they have tread and legal i just don't like the ride.

MOT 19/04/2013 83779 since this MOT i'm now currently on 89300 miles two years i've only covered 6000-7000 miles

So as you can see i don't use it much which is a shame.

no thats fine, its just i'm hopefully getting bluey back around then and i can't be dealing with sorting out something else! does it come with the alloys or are they extra?

Comes with the alloys

Ok cool, let me know what you think about putting a new mot on it, to be honest I would be interested otherwise.

Hi is this still for sale?

HI all

I drove the car to the Airport left if for a few days to come back to the mid section of the exhaust blowing really bad it's sound like a 1 litre Corsa with a huge exhaust. I had to pretend it was a V8 and smiled. it was funny when I pulled along side an Subaru Impreza and revved my engine. me and the other drive busted out laughing.

Due to the few things wrong and now the exhaust it's not fair to pass it on too the next person.

So the car will be broken at the end on the month. Shame as the shell is pretty solid with little rust on the rear arches.

Look for a new Advert soon
