I have owned this car for 7 years. Just sailed through MOT 1/12. Last Service at 60,000 miles in 2023. Serviced in2018,2019,2021 and 2023. Only doing 2000 miles a year to and from work for last couple of years hence reason for not servicing every year . Starts first time every time. The passenger and rear seats have barely been used. No rips or tears to any seats . Great runner would make a great first car.
