HumbleNarrator   286 #2 Posted October 20, 2021 5k on finance should come with a full MOT, I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jim117   72 #3 Posted October 20, 2021 Definitely HN, spending 5K on a car pitch means a full years MOT in my book. If the car is good enough to be worth 5K then putting it through a test should be merely a formality for them. I’d view that as a deal breaker.

Dardandec   32 #5 Posted October 20, 2021 Industry standard is usually about 9 months, but different places will have different standards. You can check the MOT history "HERE"  if you are concerned about any potential future advisory's or minors. Failing that ask them to put a new MOT on it.

alchresearch   207 #7 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) More importantly, how are the previous MOTs looking?  That's the biggest clue for how well a car is cared for. Edited October 21, 2021 by alchresearch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
