Such a shame.

58 plate 37k £3950 !!!

Can't justify spending another £600 on top.

Bit late seeing this but Clan's advice is spot on. With ever more things becoming more strict year on year for MOT's, testers cannot easily turn a blind any and its not worth the hassle having a a sensor or a fault cause an MOT failure (leaving you unable to drive your car).

I see things differently.....

Car worth £4K needs £600 spent or no one is going to touch it.... anyone with a brain cell would get it fixed regardless to make the car saleable. Its not like its a £500 car that needs £600 spending on it. I would be inclined to think, the issue is a bit more than a £600 dealer repair hence why the seller has not had it fixed.

Also if a seller is so tight to get stuff like this sorted for a sale, I bet you the rest of the car has been run on a shoe string and probably needs more niggles sorted.
