Car check please

[simpleR]

I see it as 4 previous owners and you would be the 5th.
I don't know why it has two MOT's in 2020 because that doesn't coincide with a change of owner or it being for sale which is odd. (The May MOT in 2020 was done by Jaguar along with a service). Well worth a car vertical check for any damage etc.

First service 2+ years late. Limited service history and not itemised so do check for paperwork. Car 41285.

Thanks simple r. Yes not sure what’s happened with the first service as I would have expected it to be done at some point in 2018, not sure how detrimental that might be… spark plugs have been done but no mention of supercharger belt which I thought needed doing by now and the diff oil is not mentioned.

Is there a way of finding out if it’s got heated seats before I speak to the dealer ?

I must have missed one of the changes of owner, no matter

I suspect the second 2020 MOT in December was ahead of the subsequent sale 5-6 weeks later in February '21. See a lot of garages offering to 'put 12 months MOT on' before sale, so could be that and the WBAC entities, if it went that way, often insist on 6 months of MOT before they purchase.

The brand new to over 2 years to an interim service amazes me when someone drops £70k+ on a new car..

As an aside the price has dropped by another £1,000 to £38k since I commented yesterday.

Sytner description says it has heated seats

Car wasn’t registered till July 17th so it’s kind of 18 months to the first service which doesn’t seem quite so long. Yes it looks like it changed hands twice in 2020 early 21 so probably explains the Mot .

[funbobby]

And yes just saw it’s dropped another 1 k

Good colour and nice spec...

The description says heated seats, and the data pulled through from TOPIx also says it has, and in one photo you can see the emblems, so that's a definite 'yes'... The light-coloured leather and steering wheel look a bit grubby, which would be easy to sort out, and some photos (door handle, exhaust tips, power vent) show something on the paint - not sure what - which would be worth looking at, it could be chips or tar or iron, or... Run a hand softly over the paintwork; it should feel perfectly smooth, and if it doesn't you've got some kind of contamination. Check the wheel rims too, OSR looks scuffed in one place but it could be the lighting...

Yes I’ve seen it has heated seats/ steering wheel now I’ve read the ad properly ! Yes I like the colour contrast on the interior but probably bit of a pain to keep clean.
