I have just been to look at the car linked above,

I noted, one key with a none working remote, the electric mirrors dont work and the clutch seemed to have a judder, the judder I think maybe the front lower engine mount? and water ingress into the boot on the left hand side, but doesnt seem to be the light seal.

It has MOT til February 2021, 107,000 miles, seems to run ok for £500?

Any thoughts? MOT History seems clean.

Yep.. too expensive!

I’d be offering £250 as it will probably need a dual mass flywheel, I’ve had cars with two out of three engine mounts broken and the clutch didn’t judder.

Brilliant thank you. The first couple of times I thought it was just me not being used to the car. Couldnt detect any knocks on idle. I'm going give it a swerve.
