Description

A solid 2012 model with a comprehensive history as a driving instructor car in the past before me, indicating frequent use. It drives ok overall, offering a dependable driving experience with a full suite of modern comforts and safety features. -- Mechanical & MOT Status -- MOT Valid: Until 13 July 2026. No dashboard warning lights; OBD scan returns no fault codes. Transmission: Generally smooth shifting, though third gear does require a deliberate change and may grind slightly. -- Exterior Condition -- The bodywork is in fair condition for its age and mileage. Paintwork: Shows signs of wear, including minor peeling of the clear coat in select areas and some paint damage primarily on the bumpers. Body: There are a few minor dents consistent with daily use. Extras: Factory tinted windows, folding heated mirrors, and a towbar with connector. -- Interior -- The cabin is fair, showing honest wear expected from a vehicle of its age. Seating: Some staining on the seats and visible wear on the driver's seat. Steering: The rubber on the steering wheel is degrading, but it doesn't affect use. Comfort: Features full climate control (air conditioning), heated front seats, and cruise control. -- Technology & Safety Upgrades -- Aftermarket reversing camera, VIFO 1080p dual dashcam (front and rear), and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL). Convenience: Bluetooth radio, parking sensors (rear), and a full-size spare wheel. Comfort: Folding heated mirrors and factory tint. This is a practical, feature-rich car ideal for someone who needs reliable transport and doesn't mind a vehicle that shows its age. The mechanics are sound (with the noted third-gear characteristic). The cosmetic imperfections are minor and offer a great opportunity for a new owner to refresh the look or simply drive it as-is. Note: Please view in person to assess the cosmetic condition as described.
