A friend was asking my opinion about a Toledo 1.0 and showed me the advert, I showed him the dealer reviews (not the autotrader ones) and the location in the general Bermuda triangle area where a multiple time bankrupt engine refurb/supply business once was.

I showed the 4 mot tests in 14 months, 2nd massive failings on exhaust hydrocarbons and associated exhaust bits.

Only done 41 miles between those 4 tests and 5 miles between the last 2. Alloy wheels have been replaced with steels and plastic wheel trims, as expected, seats in poor condition... high mileage, 82,000 miles in 3 years, then 41 in 14 months, together with 3 mot tests after the 1st which passed ok..

But, it was very cheap for a 2018/18 car.

My advice, Don't walk away, Run fast as you can.

I can't put the location as per good/bad rules.
