I think I'm going to pass on this one as there's too many inconsistencies within the advert. He says it's never had any MOT advisories but an online check shows it actually failed last year and seems to have had regular advisories around the suspension.

He also fails to mention he only bought it last month and then there's all the things you've brought up, just feels like a bodged job.

Im shocked more people don't know about the access to MOT history online.

I have been looking at a few motors recently came across one I probably wont forget for a while. 2.2 CDTI Honda Accord fairly low mileage for the age and looked decent.

Checked the history and had 2 pages (on phone) worth of failures.

https://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/2005-ho ... 1298600859

I quote "needs some brake/suspension work to pass"

and the list

Well after a bit of looking around a drove home today in an electric blue 5th gen Motegi. It needs a few bits doing to it but it's only covered 68,000 miles and I'm more than happy with the purchase. Will get pics up as soon as I've given it a good clean.
