General Car Chat / Re: mot history
« on: 22 June 2021, 21:23:03 »been looking to buy a tidy looking berlingo but it has only a month mot left. i asked the vendor why he hasn,t tested it & he was rather vague with an answer. had a look at its mot history & on the 6th july it failed on various things. n/s drive shaft , wheel bearing , steering rack ball joints & both wiper. then on the same day it had another test & passed. But at a different test station than the original.The MoT checker doesn't give you the test address without putting in the V5 reference. A different test will have a different test number
That list could realistically be done on the same day. A quick look at it would soon tell you if they were done or not... Like wise the mileage won't have changed much between the two tests. ; the mileage was exactly the same , but why go to a different garage, usually the garage that failed it would check the work had been done & issue a pass. so why go & pay for another test .
If you are interested in it go and look. Doesn't much matter if it's on Ebay/Faceache/Craigslist or Amazon and it's in Bridgend.
Either look at it in person and make an appropriate offer, or bid what you are prepared to pay allowing for not inspecting it/seller ignorance/it's 259.73 miles away.
