Turned up at some god for saken place with a view of Wembley stadium....

57 plate with 32k miles. was optimistic. until i checked the oil dipstick.... may-o-naise!!!! 

anyway then drive to essex.

39k miles. lovely car. 12 month mot, tax to august, 3k mile warranty. only issue is i've got to go back to pick it up as they're doing the mot. will be ready wednesday. but if theres any work needs doing to pass the MOT its paid for under the warranty  not that there should be touch wood as it all seemed great and so quiet

If that is the Car Giant type place, the MoT will need redoing the second you get it home

I know a couple of people who have bought cars to use as cabs from them, both failed their taxi inspections days after brand new MoTs, one needing a complete exhaust, amongst other things

i did all the things i could from my look around and everything was great.

ONLY slight niggly little thing was the rear offside bumper had unclipped. theyre going to fix that when they service/mot it though

Never knew a ford fusion could generate such excitement. Still......

Don't hold your breath... Car Giant (and all their previous incarnations) are not the best of places to do business with Trust me, in my youthful exuberance I made the mistake of buying a car from them which ended up with me taking them to court (and winning)

Here abouts, the phrase 'Trading Standards Approved' is code for 'We've been suspected of clocking, and Trading Standards have allowed us to carry on trading by the skin of our teeth'

Sure it will be fine

ask them for the v5 number and mot number and check it online 1st,just incase they decide not to give you the list of advisories 

[Webby the Bear]

cheers martin. isnt that on all new mot certs? 

 

[martin42]

it can be removed if you know how to,only need a scanner/photocopier,but it cant be removed online tho,just say your doing a history mot check,they cant refuse to give the document numbers
