I bought this car as a stop gap at the end of November last year after my previous car developed issues, namely cutting out randomly whilst driving. Was interesting but not fun.... The reason for buying this one was how clean it is for it's year, the service history with 12 stamps in the book and a service in November just before i bought it and how nicely it drives. Along with the service in November it also had new front shocks, new top mounts and droplinks. At the beginning of December i replaced the 4 tyres with quality Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 3, the tyres i put on all my cars. I also replaced the battery as a preventive measure as the cold likes to kill batteries and i need a car that is reliable, which this one is. The mot is until October 26th this year so plenty left. It had 2 advisories, front pads getting low and slight play in nearside inner tie rod. I have bought front pads, both sides inner tie rods and also track rod ends, these will be supplied with the car and take less than an hour to fit, i've not had time to get them done and they're not urgent but will be there to be fitted when ready. If i can get them done i will but to be honest it's unlikely. To summarise, the car is very tidy for it's age, 100% reliable and drives nicely, mileage will go up slightly as used every day.
