Description
Really useful and versatile car that has served us really well for 3 years. In daily use (20-30 mile commute), has never lets us down and is MOT'd until late March. We bought a replacement a bit sooner than expected so it must go. Priced low as it has some issues that I don't have the time, space or expertise to sort out and we need a quick sale before we annoy the neighbours taking up all the road!
Apart from faults described below, everything working well. Starts first time every time. No overheating. Not using any oil or water. All electrics including panoramic roof cover working. Interior clean and tidy apart from some stains on seats.
Recent new hi-spec battery, new rear brake discs and pads (November 2024) and rear tyres. Cambelt, water pump and aux belt changed April 2022 (60,747 miles). Annually serviced in our ownership. Service history from March 2022 available (I can e-mail a list if it's helpful). 2 keys.
Faults:
ABS warning light on - Comes on usually when the car's on the move, around 30mph. Likely to be a dirty or faulty wheel sensor from what garage has told me. Normal brakes still work fine, so it has not stopped us using the car.
Steering/suspension clonk - Potentially ball joint, or bushes. Can't find the culprit, but suspect it's one of those things that wears out thanks to the local speed bumps!
Heavy clutch - Clutch was replaced at 60,000 miles in March 2022, but I find it very heavy now and suspect they didn't do a great job fitting it. Not slipping and the gearchange is fine. My partner that uses the car daily tells me it doesn't bother her so she's been using it like that a while.
Minor damage to the front wing and bumper near headlight, passenger side. See photos.
As far as I know just the steering/suspension clonk and ABS warning light (if it's on at the time) are potential MOT issues, and the car is usable as normal.
Happy to chat, answer any questions as well as I can, provide a list of servicing repairs on request, collect / drop-off from local train station if it helps.
I will only sell the car to someone that sees the car and pays in person. No offers of remote payment or collection thank you.
