Thanks for the comments. I now have the car and have done some checks and test drives. So far I'm quite impressed with it. The only thing I've found so far is that the ASR warning light sometimes comes on (and the triangle warning light stays on until restart). I've checked the threads on here and can see that there might be several causes (loose/broken wire, MAF needs cleaning). Not enough to reject it I don't think. FWIW I had Kwik Fit do their free 'vehicle safety check', which didn't find anything. Will be doing a longer, motorway drive on Saturday, and hoping for some heavy rain before I have to accept/reject.

Thanks for the advice, some of those things are beyond me :) but I'll check as many as I can.

Thanks again. Buying from Cinch is a bit of an experiment, I'm told the 14 day accept/reject period is genuine - I expect I'll be posting a few specific questions on here when I actually get the car in a couple of weeks.

Thank you so much for that detailed answer, I'm now getting a good list of specific things to check rather than me just driving around and feeling the vibes. :)

Thank you very much, I will do that.

I have bought, but not yet taken delivery of, a Skoda Fabia 1.0 MPI SE 2019 that's done about 36,000 miles. I will have 14 days to either accept or reject it (it's from Cinch). Any advice on what to check during my 14 day test period? It had a problem with the coil pack, which has been fixed (parts were 'front engine spark plug x 3' and 'front engine coil pack'). I know very little about cars :).
