Saw a A3 S Line Cabriolet 2.0TFSI for sale about 5 miles away - Price slightly higher than it should be.
Spoke to seller - had it a year - no faults - no problem to come round and he would take it for a test drive with me.
Reason for sale given - too small to fit kids in (my, they have grown a lot in one year!)
Looked up MOT record - last MOT expired January 2016....
Now.
1) He never mentioned lack of MOT
2) He was willing to conduct a test drive without MOT
3) So....he bought the car in July 2015...MOT expired 6 months later yet he failed to renew and now wants to sell? A bit suspicious to me.
Decided to walk because;
1) Seller Not Being open with facts (what else is he hiding?)
2) Seller a chancer to run around with no MOT
3) Why, after buying it did he let MOT lapse after only 6 months? Lack of money? In which case what else has he skimped on?
I bought a beautiful S Line 2.0 TFSI a few days later....but the seller above keeps texting me saying he has got the MOT now - like that was the problem not his lack of openness!
Was I right to walk? What Do you think?
