And c’mon? How many transits have you seen with a sunroof! 8)

I wonder how easy it is for someone in the motor trading industry to alter the mot history and mileage records? And i wonder what the best way to check if it's genuine is? Any ideas?

Thanks for that, i have been using it already though. I was wondering if you could mess with that mot history some how. I guess it's possible but very unlikely

Well, it’s getting traded in on Thursday, so doesn’t really matter :lol:

But just for fun it’s a 115/260 on a 61plate 89k on it
It’s got ew/em/heated front screen,heated washer jets,heated seats,cruise control,sunroof,roof bars,single piece tailgate,cat 1 alarm,front fogs,auto wipers and lights,voice control,rear parking sensors,rear 12v power point,mk8 front seats with under seat storage,sapphire front grill,serviced properly every 10k including all electronic calibrations, zero stored dtc’s

And did have ford Sony DAB radio,sat nav and 18”alloys :D

But like I said it’s all but traded in. But it would have gone up for 5k


But still no danger that van on eBay is any more than a 4k van!
