This is a well-maintained 2005 petrol hatchback that has been reliable, economical and easy to drive, making it an ideal first car, learner car or low-cost daily runaround. Condition The car starts first time and drives very well, with no known mechanical or electrical faults. The engine, clutch and gearbox all perform as they should. A new alternator was recently fitted and the car has been regularly serviced throughout its life. MOT is valid until 29 June 2026, giving good peace of mind. Cosmetically, the car is in fair condition for its age. There are a few small scratches and a couple of medium scrapes, all shown clearly in the photos, along with two small windscreen chips. These are cosmetic only and do not affect drivability. Tyres A couple of tyres are borderline on tread. They are currently legal but will need replacing in the near future. The asking price reflects this. Keys & Locking The car comes with one key. The key fob does not stay in to hold charge, meaning the car needs to be locked manually. This causes no issues with starting or driving and is purely a convenience point. Vehicle History & MOT Note There is a historic MOT mileage discrepancy from 2018, where the mileage was incorrectly recorded as 7,000 instead of 70,000 due to a data entry error by the MOT garage. The mileage progression either side of this year is correct: 2017 MOT: approx. 65,000 miles 2018 MOT: 7,000 miles (error) 2019 MOT: approx. 74,000 miles I have written confirmation on headed paper from the garage that carried out the MOT acknowledging their mistake. Because of this discrepancy, the vehicle is being sold privately, and the price reflects this fully.
