Full service history and all paperwork, last serviced in December 2024, MOT till July 2025. Had infamous thermostat housing changed (which normally goes at around 60,000).
I had a new battery installed when I bought it 18 months ago and while I've had it I have had a slow oil leak fixed, AC leak fixed and regassed, belt tensioner and belt replaced.
The drive is really engaging, the turbo pulls just enough to be fun but not silly and the steering is instant and direct. Car sounds great too, with a duel exhaust and a 'sports' mode.
Bad bits:
- Usual stone chips and minor scratches (though there really aren't many)
- Windscreen has a repaired stone chip (by previous owner) - hasn't changed since I've had it
- MOT has advisory about rusting appearing on sub-frame
