My Fiesta is coming to the end of its life, won't put anymore money into it, June and the MOT is up, so will be on the hunt. Was thinking auction, but seen the high prices they are going for on one of your January vids, I know they are more expensive in January, but it put me off, also you don't get the benefit of a test drive

      Yes I am going to do a video on budget tyres soon, there are some decent budget tyres these days but your right some people buy a tyre at £50 when there is another brand for £59 that will last 50% longer and better grip rating. It annoys me when my customers don't see the benefit and saving.

      the gearbox is not Mot related, as for the shocker the standards for shockers are it must be a serious leak to fail a mot, a worn out shocker that has limited damping could still pass a mot but would be advised if noticed by compertant mot tester

      To be honest if we fix the water leak and it holds temp ok, will use that diesel up to find out 😁then I would not be to worried. The longest claim on CRA I have had was just over 4 months on a bmw 3 series we sold for 1.8k some years ago. The guy had covered 3k in the car and was trying to claim for a leaking radiator which was clearly wear and tare, I dug my shoes in on that one and told him to go politely away and take responsibility for his car, he did not agree but lucky for us the district judge did. 👊

      I suspect this citroen would not sell privately (other than spares or repair) and then somebody is going to want to steal it(circa £450) as Lee says it could be anything from a joint on a pipe to a cracked head, a private buyer is going to assume the worse, talk about how expensive it will be to repair and offer peanuts.
      The seller appeares to just want rid of it ASAP.
