Had the car 10 Years from new and the car is now at 97500 miles.

10th Service and Seventh MOT done last year ( 2025 ) with nothing to report.

11th Service and Eighth Mot done last week (2026 ) with nothing to report.

Still only had one MOT advisory in its life.

Car is still on original brakes all round, original clutch, & battery.

Apart from normal servicing it has wanted: -

Lower front suspension arm rear bushes. ( the MOT advisory )

Passenger front electric window fuse!

A look at / fix the AC recirculation flap motor housing.

Lower front grill, that was both chewed by a rodent and head butted by a pheasant.

Inner wing O-S-F plastic cover for access to headlight bulb that went AWOL.

3 AC re gas refills.

Tyres, which do about 30K miles on the front.

Some headlight bulbs. H7 Osram Nightbreaker's.

Wipers front and rear.

Engine consumes no oil between services and can still do above 60MPG on a good tank.

Still like and plan to keep the car.

Thanks. AG Falco

It is a credit to you and your driving techiniques and strict reigme of servicing and maintenance.

A a great testerment to you, pity you don't live in Northampton as you could have earnt some money from doing work properly on a 2015 model - even then there'd never be above 60mpg to a tank unless perhaps doing a selected time journey to Scotland, certainly not with my wife's (and many other Mk3 owners) usual average use and more to do with lack of speed than higher speds or revs.

Fuse blowing is an outlier, in my decades of ownership and use of lots of old cars and some new ones I've only had one fuse "blow" and that from a previous owner's combinting two new modern electric items to a then 30+ year old car on the same fuse where both items have a start up spike to them.

As already put, well done.
