The MOT history wasn't to bad, full service history and only 2 owners. I had a long chat to the seller on the phone, it all sounded promising. Then I got the report....
Bake pad warning lights on
Buckled front wheel
Bulging tyre by the buckle
Oil on the turbo feed pipe
Both front suspension mounts damaged
Fuel injectors 'damp'
Water pump leaking
Underside of gearbox leaking
Oil filter housing has oil on it
Coolant leak
Every wheel scuffed
Chipped windscreen
Other than that - it was mint 🤣
To be honest, I'm not mechanically minded at all - I'd have not even noticed most of that 😕
