Has been a write off in the past and is otherwise in poor condition too.

A fleeting bit of due diligence showed that it's only been MOTd twice in the last 12 years.......

“Much loved” an advertisers flair. I usually sell cars once I’ve fallen out of love with them.

Most of ours are sold “much loved”

We’ve either outgrown them, or can’t afford them any more

I always think it's funny when people try to sell a car without first introducing it to a hoover. It looks a state in the photos, if you can't be bothered cleaning it (or paying someone to do it for you), what else can't you be bothered doing.

On the flip side, my Elise was last MOT'd in June 2019, so perhaps I'm making a different error on that front right now!
