Description
This car is currently declared as off-road due to a suspected drive-shaft failure. This is an old car that has done a lot of miles and has a few problems, I've listed the ones I'm aware of below.
Despite these issues, the engine is good and has never given me any trouble. All the issues I've had repaired have been from the body, not the engine.
I've had the car for around four-years, and it has been reliable for my long journeys on the motorway. I have decided to try and sell the car for parts rather than repair it myself.
Faults:
Currently declared off-road (SORN) due to suspected drive shaft failure.
Rear offside tyre is warped, car is currently sitting on the spare wheel (original wheel included, just needs a new tyre).
Faulty boot-struts
Small crack in windscreen.
Pros:
Reliable engine which has not given me any problems, particularly good for motorway driving which is where most of the miles (in my ownership) have come from.
Engine starts reliably.
Very solid, well-made car.
New rear brake discs and pads as of March 2025.
New front springs, ball joint, anti-roll bar, and top strut mount as of October 2024.
Two brand new front tyres, rear nearside tyre is also fairly new.
In built Bose speakers.
