Condition 

6

The car has covered 88,200 miles and has had six former owners. There are some cosmetic issues, such as tears in the driver's seat and flat paint on the boot lid, but the interior looks very clean and tidy overall. The bodywork looks very solid with just a couple of small areas that have been touched in on the wheelarches. The car has been well-maintained with lots of bills from 2010 onwards and has had some recent work done, including a new LH front wishbone, a new battery, and a new rocker cover gasket. The vendor reports that the car drives beautifully with everything working as it should.
