Let us know how you got on. I got a Met Black 2008, 1.8 SE on Thursday with low mileage because the whole DPF got to me. I'm only doing 6,000 a year in the Volvo so no point in a diesel for me.

Main thing is DPF and Dual Mass flywheel.

Front Wishbones and bushes in general will be a bit tired at this age.

Same for dampers - but if that matters depends on your driving style i guess

Default It's a 4!!!

The 70k one has a 4 as the 8th digit .....754...

So to confirm - It has NO DPF?

This is the one then me thinks!

Default No deal :-(

Went to see her, the 70k one. All fine.
Agreed on a price.
About to sign the paperwork...then he told me there is no tax on the vehicle!
What garage sells a car with no tax?
How the hell was i going to get tax to drive her home as they do not let customers use their internet.
Strange i thought. They lost the deal for the sake of £90 as i had tried £165 but then said i will still take her with 6 months on.

If they can't be bothered to tax it... walk away.

Could be cause it wouldn't get through the MOT or some other issue.
