The inspector 's conclusion

Potential repair costs for this vehicle:

£3200

Prior to carrying out a road test under bonnet fluid levels were checked and found to be correct, at this point the vehicle was started with no permanent warning lights displayed on the driver’s information panel, with the vehicle started readily from cold.

The road test was carried out at speeds of up to 70 mph, in mixed road and traffic conditions.

During the road test the pay attention to the performance of the engine and transmission with the engine and transmission performance be considered in line with a similar vehicle the same make and model the similar mileage.

Throughout the course of the road test the vehicle handled and performed in a good manner, steered the chosen path of travel correctly and was free from any abnormal noise or vibration.

During the road test there was no evidence of any excessive smoke from the exhaust, undue
audible noises from the transmission and no evidence of overheating.

With final checks revealing no evidence of coolant leaks in and around the engine bay, or
evidence of major oil leakage around the engine bay and or on the underside of the vehicle.

Overall conclusion vehicle is in good condition for the age and mileage. Vehicle aesthetic is good for the age with some previous bodyworks carried out considered acceptable unless specifically looking for not over-sprayed vehicle.

Some comments have made in the report.
Some price negotiations can be made as service is due soon, vibration rectification and some other bits mentioned in the report.

Air conditioning if not enough cold can be regas.

A structurally sound vehicle with no evidence of major accident damage or significant corrosion.
