Description
Runs and drives but needs repairing. Spares or repairs?
Have owned since Jan 2022.
Have now replaced it.
Spent a lot on it over the last few years. Garage advised it will need more work soon, so we have replaced it as makes more sense for us financially.
Mot until Nov 2026.
Comfortable family car. Not that bad on fuel. Little to no service history.
Issues:
Engine light comes on (this is an often returning issue since start of our ownership) - probably related to the DPF. Have previously had it burnt off and helped a great deal. Garage advised it may well need injectors doing again down the line and this is main reason we decided to replace the car. Has brand new RAC battery with 5 year warranty (Jan 2026 - RRP 200).
Was previously Cat N (non structural) write-off before we purchased it. The seller who we bought it from provided photos to show what had been repaired but looks it's like it never happened TBH.
We live out of town so it has a fair amount of paint scratches from driving along the country lanes.
