A Colleague at work came and asked me about this car today he'd seen on autotrader,

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... TUS&page=1

its Ultra low miles, but interesting MOT history and looks to have been out of the country until 2015,

If anyone has any knowledge of it let me know.

Cheers :-)

Those seats look like they've been sat in for way more than 19,000 miles.

I think they've been re-covered. Badly.

Fook that's cheap, there is a std cat D S1 for more than that in scandal green... that looks remarkable value! BUT... For some reason there is no pre 2015 MOT history on here https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ I'm not sure why that would be? My car has had several plate changes but shows the full MOT history back to it's first MOT in 2008...

That's the factory spec for those seats, I'd a set fitted to mine for a while but went back to the originals.

I would suspect it's also had a lot of paint given the lack of stone chips and all the missing decals.

The passenger side sill cover has a repair to it, looks like it cracked when somebody tried to remove it.

Says it has an MOT with no advisories.... Bought in the pub I'm guessing as DVLA say there is no MOT on it at the moment and it has a fail sheet from todays date with a few bits on it, mostly emissions and a few advisories including a coolant leak.... sounds dodgy? :roll: Rear clam damage drivers side arch, passenger rear arch has a scrape too, console is well marked and seats well worn for miles?

As above

The Interior looks shabby for that low mileage
The front certainly looks like it has seen paint..... and the new front number plate supports this....it is from an accident repair shop

:cheers

No MOT history due to it having been out of the country then registered in the UK in 2015.

Good spot on the crash repair reg plate Iain!

will confirm what I said to him earlier and to steer clear!
