There just seems to be something real odd about it, surely if it only had that type of mileage on it,then you would put a full MoT on it. I have emailed him 3 times but have not had any answers yet.I was bidding on it but took my bid off for that reason.

I saw that car advertised a while ago for something silly like £2k, then it jumped down by huge increments. The photos showed it sat in a a garden - looks like it had sat for a while. Next thing I see it all cleaned up and the price has dropped massively. Very strange!

Here it is: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C519216


"Car will come with full MOT"



Bet he took it for one/took it for a pre-inspection and it's massively failed, hence the big drop in price and now doesn't come with MOT...

He has just emailed me and said, as far as he knows its been off the road for 2 years and it could be 3 years since it was MoT'd.
