No great shakes, it is worth paying for.
It was serviced to hell and back.
So £800 will keep it going for the next 4 years.
Tyres and disks.
I only do a few K a year, so that is that.

Z rated tyres.
No need to cost a fortune, but brilliant to have

Standard fitment on many Government vehicles in Europe.
I am now retired, absolutely no need to do stupid speeds now.
The stopping distance is amazing
I still have my high speed driving Certificate.
A complete waste of time going to Lidl.

Impressed with how it was dealt with,left car on forecourt with windows all down,they then went out and sprayed it with disinfectant,after servicing they had disinfected again and left the key in a plastic bag,paid over the phone so no contact with any one.

Re: Car servicing and MoT
Apparently it's to bring back MOT work to the garages .... and one in 3 cars usually fail their MOT's so there is concern over how roadworthy some vehicles are after giving them the 6 month extension.Anyone due in July probably can't believe their luck.
