“Thanks for your pre-purchase report. I'll now just walk away from this remote home delivery deal, which I'd been considering for a week.
Photos of the car were the unexpected clincher (although I was glad to see the documentation, I didn't pass on any details in the end). The notes on the photos that point out specific problems are really helpful.
For example, suspension, brakes and tyres all have problems. Most cars do, so I could almost just think of it as a cost of a cheaper deal, but the tyres were described in the ad as "excellent", and the MOT date was advertised as December 2025 before it had actually been done (after I asked about the mismatch with gov uk records). So that hardly inspires confidence. "If the price is too good to be true..."
The main kicker for me was the oil leaking all over the engine. Not a good look!
It seems to be a car that's been a bit neglected, after a careful owner ran out of warranty, sold on or traded up, and the next owner may have had to fit strictly into a budget for only doing essential MOT repairs.
With words like "ASAP" and "excessive" on repair and wear in the report (which I agree with), it's surprising that this car passed an MOT just this week.”
