Perhaps we should ask why it had 109545 miles on the clock when it was tested in April 2013 and 76298 miles on the clock a year later :roll:

Finished for the price of some M-sport seats! Obviously dodgy as f*ck though! Cat D and mileage 'correction'.

One would hope the successful bidder would have the nouse to HPI it before handing over the cash and do a quick turn about heel when it's history is revealed..

Can't believe it went for that. Wouldnt be surprised if it had been bid up and ends up getting relisted. Fit for the knackers yard only that one!

If it's not been bid up and gets relisted it's surely a clear case of folks getting giddy bidding on a very low mileage vehicle for its age. Wait till they try and source that nearside xenon headlight, then there in for a shock!

Yup, don't think there are a lot of non-3.0L cars out there with xenons, especially on a facelift. If you were paying someone to fix that, it's got to be the thick end of £2k, maybe more, I was watching it, but still reckoning on a grand for me to fix it, and there's still the Cat D issue which will put a lot of people off. I lost interest when it hit £1500.

Hopefully the stigma of cat D will deminish a bit with the new cat S and N. At least anyone buying an N can do so knowing it wasnt structurally damaged.
