• Best way to sell of an old car - No MOT 16 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  I was planning of selling an 2002 Japanese car.  80,000 miles. However, due to lockdown missed my chance.  My MOT was due, took it to regular garage who told me informally it needs £350 worth of repair inc MOT.     The battery is zero
• Why 3 Year MOT instead of mileage cap? 2 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  I've been in the used motor industry for a long time. I've always thought that inaugural Mot tests could be mandatory at a mileage cap rather than age. A two year old car can easily travel 80k without a legal road safety test. But a three year old car could travel less than 20k

  I am intending to buy a car which is currently on a private plate. Getting the original plate back is no problem but how does this work when the car will be taxed and insured & MOT'd on the private number when the old one is reissued? I assume I'll have to go to Post Office to change the tax disk

• Car Scrappage Deals 17 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  Are these a bit of a con or do you receive a genuine additional amount? The reason I ask is that I have a 19 year old Yaris (and it looks its age) that is cleary worth very little, if anything. I am looking to replace it and was originally thinking of a 2-3 year old Hyundia I10
• The least classy, classy car? 5 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  For me it has to be the Range Rover - especially the vulgar customised ones where they replace the bonnet ridge lettering with O V E R F I N C H or R E V E R E.  Yes yes, very clever.  Reminds me of the old "You've just been NOVA-taken!" stickers on the back of crappy old Vauxhalls

  I have a 2000 Nissan QX, converted to LPG seven years ago, it is a great car!! My problem is that over the past two years I find the battery drains very quickly, in 3/4 days, Could this be a fault with the NATS system as it seems to be the only item that is using any battery power

  HJ, My car is a 2003 Leon 1.9 TDI SE110 which I believe is quite old VW technology, but is it old enough not to have the infamous dual density flywheel issues? As the car approaches 70K miles it has a slight increase in the normal agricultural VW diesel vibes and was wondering if new engine mounts
