Description
This car had dash faults since I've owned it but drives perfectly well. I bought it in it's current condition as a new driver (10 months ago), from a friend for a little more than the price listed. I thought with money saved I could take on the repairs when it broke down, however that day never came.
It has been daily driven to varied work locations and sent on multiple 500+ mile trips - all without any issues at all.
Cheap to run. It goes from Hampshire to Snowdonia and back on a single tank.
I am selling because I recently bought another car (lower mileage and I enjoy it more).
Fresh MOT.
Two six month old tires, 2 recently bought part worn.
Brighter aftermarket LED sidelights, fog lights and interior lights.
Brand new battery two months ago.
Suspension arm replaced with MOT.
Oil + filter changed 3 months ago.
Cruise control, electronic mirrors, good AC.

FAULTS;
**Red check engine light**
- As stated since I bought it, this light comes on intermittently (sometimes for a day or so). It's related to exhaust pressure sensor circuit A. I had it investigated and can supply you with a website for the 75 quid replacement pipe.
*Code for soot buildup DPF*
Suspected related to above. Needs a clean soon but planned to complete sensor/possible clogged pipe first to see if it clears.
**TCS system error**
TCS shows always switched off on dash. I've noticed if I pull out of a junction turning full lock too fast, I can hear a little wheel spin. I've not had this looked at.
Other than investigations I did not really pursue fixing these faults as the car drives well and my attitude was reflective of the low cost invested. I have ignored the red light whenever it comes and goes. There are no symptoms other than the light itself.
---------------------
EXTERIOR:
Good condition without major marks. Roof paint is faded to a matte colour, but as a tall car I barely notice. One minor dent/compression near the rear passenger wheel arch worth noting. Rims and reg plates in good condition.
INTERIOR:
Good condition, material seats not leather. I cleaned often and use seat covers. All electronic windows work. All buttons and outlets work. Neither me or previous owner smoked.
Test drives welcome. Happy for you to scan or use my ODBII to view codes I've stated above.
