A while back when my wife was buying a Jeep, just before handing over the cash I decided to do a check from my phone. I was not keen on spending £29 on a check but my gut was not right. Turns out the car I was about to buy was reported stolen.
I've just used the last of the checks (bought 3) on a perfect example of a mini for my sister in law. I've not seen the car but 4 family members, one male (who sort of knows which way round a hammer goes) checked the car at the dealer and said everything is good. No overspray, panels all have equal gaps etc etc. Turns out it was a Cat-D write off.
So far, £29 has been well worth it.
Confused by this though:
[h=4]Mileages as recorded by the National Mileage Register[/h]
Why would the mileage jump like that? New engine?
The accident was in May this year.
