Oh no!  I was hoping no one would notice...I've just put a bid in...it looks mint! I'll probably lose out again...the last few cars I've been after have all ended early outside of eBay...

...don't let me hold anyone back, as long as it goes to a good home I'll be happy, I've put a bid in but will probably be unable to bid what it's truly worth.  >:(

I contacted the seller enquiring re MoT and service history or any documentation that supports the low mileage. Unfortunately, there is none. That said, the condition of the car looks great. I can only infer from its appearance, it was well looked after.

My wife would kill me if I ended up with another car, so I'm not really in the running.

As folk have commented on another recent thread, things seem to be very quiet on the buying front at the moment so perhaps this is the chance to nab a real bargain...

Now over a grand with no MOT, I am suprised as a 1 owner car there is no history, to back up mileage.

I assume there is no MOT as he says the tyres are perished, so needs a set of tyres, also mentions brakes are not too good.

Looks like the seller found the logbook. So the mileage can now be verified.
