Sounds like the front chassis is as rotten as a pear. As Dr. Gollum says, it would make a good breaker. But probably not worth the money effort & time as a car for the road. Unless its being almost given away.

Quite so. Thanks Dr. Gollum. I did not know anyone could examine MOT failure data. That settles that.

And don't forget the ecu let's you play a bit more before the traction control kicks in  :y
Dont understand that one. :-\

The ECU is programmed slightly different to the Elite according to 2woody, the traction control allows a bit more slip before stopping play than it does with the Elite.

No Mot, with the above Fails, Cost to Trailer it, and 350 quid, not worth taking it on, unless you specifically need it for spares.

At least you can see the MOT history. Always jars me off when sellers obscure the reg so you can,t check. Always makes me think they have something to hide. ???

MV6 spec is far, far superior to any other spec. But I would say that...

I much prefer the fake ally to the fake wood - so much so that I've painted the trim in my explod...!

The early MV6's had Carbon Fiber trim on Consul and Doors, but alias it was fake Plastic Molding.
The latter MV6's had Titanium Metal trim on Consul and Doors, but alias it was fake Plastic Molding painted silver.
