I saw that too - without looking at the mot history it looks like a great low mileage car owned by an enthusiast, so why no bids??

Probably down to the limitations the seller has set, nobody with feedback below 200 and buyer must be local.

Reason for no bids? Possibly because it looks like an uncared for example. For starters the area round the boot where the bottom of the struts sit is filthy, the engine bay looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the day the car left the factory and it has damage to the offside. As for those awful chrome trims on the wheel arches - words fail me.

Yes, people do clean under the bonnet. I certainly do, while not in the same league as Teflon's car. I do try to keep it clean

I would not even consider looking any further than an engine bay if looking at a car to buy. Really well maintained this one looks......not.
