Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This classic car, with a 1,796cc engine, has been in daily use since 2018. Noteworthy features include a new hood (2016), electric windows, and disc brakes. However, the lack of winter storage, eight previous owners, and 107,218 miles on the clock impact its overall value.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in daily use, which suggests it is mechanically sound. However, the lack of winter storage implies potential rust or weather-related wear. The presence of all but one MoT certificate and receipts up to 2016 indicates good maintenance history. The mileage of 107,218 is relatively high, and eight previous owners suggest possible wear and tear. Overall, the car seems to be in reasonable condition, but the lack of winter storage and high mileage bring it down to a 'Good' condition rating.
