Lets put this car in some perspective.
In early 2015 I sold my 2009 (09) 55,000 mile S-Max TDCi with every possible extra on it and the auto box for £8,000 to a dealer. It had decent tyres, full service history but needed a few hundred pounds of external cosmetic work. It even came with the tonneau cover and was almost unmarked internally.
He advertised it about eight weeks later for £10,995. The car looked immaculate - which it was as I had looked after it as best I could. It has subsequently racked up another 58,000 miles according to the .Gov site.
Almost four years later a car with far more miles, lower spec, manual, no service history and a remarkabe MoT history is for sale at £5,500.
To me that is too good to be true. It does look reasonably tidy inside, but I would want to pay less than £5,000 for no history.
