Highish miles, but looks nice. Has cruise control too.

Looking at the full MoT history, I'd not be rushing to buy it to be honest. It averaged around 18,000 miles per year for the first 5 years of its life; advisories were generally not repaired and were left to become failures the next year - or 2 in some cases. The untreated advisories were mainly brakes, tyres and rubber suspension parts. That speaks to me of little preventative maintenance.

In January this year, it had excessive corrosion failures. The rear tailgate switch on the driver's kick panel is missing and the larger a/c pipe to the right of the oil filler cap is worn due to rubbing on the underside of the bonnet. Driver's carpet may suffer from regular soaking. That's all I can see from the photos.

It's been in trade since 15th October 2021 and with the exception of an extra MoT in January 2022, hasn't moved since. That may mean brake and other issues.

Looks nice though.

Dougie.

Has the world gone mad? Nearly £2k for a car 19 years old with 150k on the clock and just a stinking diesel - who would want a diesel these days?

The world went mad a long time ago. Car prices are but a side-show.
