Description
Two owners from new. My partner has owned the car since passing her test in around 2014. 2 Keys included.
It has heated front seats, an electric sunroof, electric mirrors and air conditioning.
Service and maintenance history:
Part service history: main dealer servicing for the first couple of years, then local garages in Ipswich (mainly Airspeed Tyre & Exhaust Ltd).
Last MOT: Passed in May 2025.
Front suspension arm ball joint dust covers worn and rear coil springs corroded. Garage advised these only need doing when they become an issue.
Last full service: to be honest, not done for a while (possibly 2022, though no record - could check with garage).
Recent work:
2025: Thermostat housing and connecting pipe replaced due to coolant leak - big job costing 530GBP (receipt from CVS Anglia, Ipswich).
2024: Rear brake pipes and hoses under wing replaced due to corrosion (receipt from Whatlington Garage, Battle).
2022 (65k miles): Front pads and discs replaced (receipt from Rayners Garage, Ipswich).
2020: New battery fitted (still starting quickly, but may need replacing soon).
Tyres:
May 2025: New rear passenger tyre (receipts from Cranbrook Tyre & Performance Ltd)
June 2024 (70k miles): Two new front tyres (receipt from Whatlington Garage, Battle)
2022 (62k miles): Rear driver tyre replaced.
Condition:
Mileage: 74,174.
Air conditioning has recently stopped blowing cold - likely just needs re-gassing (never been done).
Some scratches (highlighted in photos).
Could do with a good clean!
Otherwise, has been very reliable throughout ownership.
Includes:
Universal phone holder.
USB FM Bluetooth transmitter.
CD player.
Air conditioning.
Electric mirrors.
Heated front seats.
Electric sunroof.
Full set of mats.
Wheel locking nut.
Spare wheel and jack.
Reason for sale:
We're travelling and the car isn't being used much anymore. It's been an extremely reliable car for us and we'd happily buy it again, but it deserves more use.
