Description
The car is in a great condition. I have had it since November 2023 and I bought it from a primary school teacher who had driven it for over 8 years and had kept all the receipts and documents. I'm slightly careless with paperwork so didn't quite keep a record of service and oil/filter change but I did it four times since I bought it.
Mechanically this car is incredibly reliable. I work from home so I haven't driven it a lot except to Tescos or takeaways. I bought it at 86k mileage and only did about 12k in almost two and half years. Most of the mileage I clocked has been long distance mostly to london, Bath, Cardiff and a few times to Liverpool. Despite its size the car is a great runner on motorways. My last trip to london was last week when I went to see my family there. On the way I stopped at Warwickshire services but on the way back I didn't stop at all. The car didn't even blink driving 200 miles straight without a halt. It's very reliable.
There are no lights, nothing on the dash. The only small issue it has recently incurred is the front offside wheel bearing that's creating a bit of sound with acceleration, which isn't severe or urgent. You can drive the car straightaway without any hassle or any immediate trips to the garage. Given the condition of the car and how carefully I drive and look after my vehicles the lower price caters for wheel bearing repair cost.
With very low insurance and only 20 pounds road tax per year there's hardly any maintenance cost. Ideal for new drivers or someone who might need an additional car for the family. I'm selling it because I need a larger car.
