Hello,
I'm buying a car but a bit worried about the missing MOT and service records. It would be really helpful if I get some advice on the questions I'm raising.
June 2010 - Date of 1st reg
Aug 2011 - 9000 miles - Service1 - Franchise
July 2012 - Sold to another lady owner
Oct 2012 - 13000 m - Service2 - Franchise
Aug 2013 - 18000 m - MOT1
May 2014 - 23000 m - Service3 - Corner (shop) garage
Feb 2015 - 29000 m - MOT2
July 2015 - 33000 m - Service4 - Corner (shop) garage
Feb 2016 - 36000 m - MOT3
I'm concerned about a) about 20 months between service2 and 3. They advertise as full-service history. When asked they say it is based on 10k miles not how many months. But I thought it is always either 10k miles or 12 months which is earlier? Should this be classed as FSH?
and b) About 18 months gap between MOT1 and MOT2. They say that the lady owners normally forget about it. The guy said his wife forgot until the tax was due for about 8 months.
I suspect there might be more to this. Do you think I should be concerned about it?
Thank you very much for your Help!
