I'm going to view #010 on Sunday, so I'll bare it in mind when looking through the history, the previous owner has been very helpful and has given me confidence that it's a good motor.

Let us know your thoughts on no10 Russ. Have a good look at what we discussed. I didn't realise the MOT history was that bad. I did check it.

The 50k miles car on the other hand had some corrosion comments on the MOTs that put me off.

I agree that condition is more important than miles. That said I personally wouldn't go for a car over 100k miles. Just my preference that's all.

The sill corrosion was what put me off #667.... 

re. #010... While the comments on the MOT regarding corrosion were justified, it does make it sound worse than it is, the rear axle and front wishbones are a bit crusty, but by no means falling apart, they'll be the first thing I address, I will replace all the suspension, mounts, bushes and get the axle and wishbones sorted.  After going over the car, it's history, all the invoices, service book, there was no way I was not going to try and strike a deal for the purchase. It is a credit to the owd dears who bought it new, and to the previous owner who was very meticulous with it's upkeep!....

@Dean I am the new owner of #010, please can you update the register ☺️

That's great news - not many good ones left. Can't really see me being re-united with my old one now.

@wolfsburger coming from its previous owner, enjoy it. Most of the annoying Fabia issues I sorted via a specialist. Have the chassis shot blasted and powered coated and it would be perfect. Unfortunately with ulez and other things going on in my life. Aside from my daily, I owned two cars which were toys (the vrs and an bmw m4) unfortunately with ulez where I live, the Fabia was the one I decided to part ways with. Maybe another lemon yellow low miler if one came up again in the future. Enjoy

Thank you, like I said I tip my hat to you for meticulously maintaining it and sorting it. Thankfully for me ULEZ is not an issue for me, plus I ride my ‘push iron’ to work so the SE will be having an easy life 🤣

 

I’ll be sorting out the running gear and refreshing anything else that may need a tickle up. 🙏🏾
