Just what I need. An ancient old barge. But wait! Isn't there another vehicle that fits that description.

Here you go, in the absence of any Montego Estates, a proper petrol car fit for a suburban housewifehusband...

I like that. Ripe for DIY work

Lovely car,I miss my old E220 estate a lot :'(

Easy to work on?

There is a big appeal to something like that, vs 20k new version. Especially when its just pottering around town

My five year maximum at point of licensing is a real pita sometimes :-\... there are some lovely older cars which would do the job perfectly...

Is that not a council to council rule? I've seen some right sheds, way older than 5 years that are licensed taxi's  :-\

Different councils interpret the basic rules differently, but round here, the car must be plated within five years of registration date. Once plated, it can be replated until such time as it stops passing its inspections. The inspections here are twofold, both six monthly. One is an extended Mot with no advisories and includes body damage, tother is an appointment with the licensing officer, and includes a meter and condition/cleanliness check. The oldest car here is a '52 plate Octavia. Had I put a new plate on the Insignia rather than transfering it from the Omega, then I would still be using the Omega... ultimately it would have been replaced with an E Class, but perhaps not so soon ::)
