Update , holding deposit placed , any information on history would be great prior to completion of the sale

I'm sure SimpleR will get back to you but in the meantime, did you look it up on TotalCarCheck or similar? It's interesting to see that it was MOTd twice last last year. Uneven tyre wear recorded on the first one. Then it got sold in September and put up for sale again in May. It doesn't look like it's been loved much.

Yes did a check on total car - noticed the mot records for last year, paperwork was in the car book. Uneven type wear and realignment was advised., full printed service history was present and pretty regular annual mileage. Car appears to be in great condition inside and out with no wear markers, new tyres have been put on front Pirelli p zero .

Managed to get some info from the dealer, relating to the 2 mot in 2023, car was issues a new mot by the dealer in sept as part of the sale. The last owner purchased it in sept 23 as his ‘dream car’ however realised quite quickly his partially disabled son found getting in and out of the car v difficult and had no option other than to sell, and part ex into the dealership for another vehicle. Last owner was kind enough to confirm via email .

If someone can help with any additional infor on the car then that would be great .

Sorry to be a pain, but if anyone could help with some history on the car would be v much appreciated. Done a car check but hoping for some extra info if possible to get the full story. Looking to complete on the car end of the week if all is well

The supplying dealer should be giving you all of this stuff, it's easy to get the TOPIx history, and a MotorCheck report is cheap and easy to do, but to save you the trouble...

Do check the front headlight and nearside DRL. There are no pictures of the car head on and only pictures of offside front.

The one picture of the nearside DRL from above makes it look like it is failed. Full intensity at the top, and then duller which is the start of the failure.

Picture from advert of offside.

And the best picture of nearside from the advert. Might just be the angle of the photo but mine started to fail the same way with the top part bright and the rest dim until it all went dim which requires a replacement headlight at £2,500.

Definitely worth checking.

Thankyou all, much appreciated, will definately get the headlights drl checked. Dealer has advised a full 6month warranty. However I’ll check the lights thoroughly.
