I know the plate is familiar but I can't remember...

If you find him, tell him his exhaust is wonky.

Good price for a low mileage plus.

Thanks Shop

Not many miles since 2010 if the poster told us it was on 65k at that point!

Is it anyone on here that still owns it - would like to know if the 87k is genuine.

What's the MOT history say?

Pretty consistent of low miles per year. There are glimmers of info where you can tell the keeper had an MOT fail at one garage so simply went 1 - 2 miles away and tried again to get a pass from a less observant / anal MOT tester...

However there is a glitch / anomaly in the 2015 test where the car's recorded mileage goes backwards by roughly 1800 miles... It does seem out of character with the rest of the annual tests so being fair to the seller could be merely a typo by the 2014 test centre.

HPI shows same keeper from Oct 2010 onwards.

I've had a typo on mileage before.
