Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure 1.0 - 1.9L Cars For Sale In South West

29 Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure 1.0 - 1.9L Cars For Sale In South West

Searching for a cheap car without an MOT can save you money upfront, as these vehicles are usually priced significantly lower than those with a valid MOT certificate. Buying a "No MOT" car is ideal for mechanics, enthusiasts, or anyone planning repairs or restoration. However, it’s important to be aware that these cars haven't passed the mandatory safety and emissions tests, so they may require costly repairs or might not be roadworthy immediately. Always factor in potential repair costs and legal requirements before purchasing. Be sure to view the car in person and conduct a thorough inspection before making your decision.

  • 1.6L Petrol
  • Manual
  • Hatchback
  • 42.2MPG

MOT failure on 2nd fast idle emissions test, believed to be due to a slight misfire in March 2025. Did have spark plugs and oil change March 2025, along with other MOT failure items fixed (new tyre & replaced bulb). Also ran some Cataclean through it, but emissions failed on retest still. I've owned the vehicle since 2017. Fun little car to drive, but since working from home it has seen very little mileage each year as it's our second car. I've not got around to getting it fixed, so it's time to sell it unfortunately. Plenty of photos on the advert. Overall physical condition is decent for a car of that age. A few little chips and scratches about, and there is some fading on the roof. Rear parking sensors also have shown a fault for some time. Comes with 2 sets of keys. Battery is currently flat, so will need jump to get started. Please bear in mind there is no MOT so you cannot test drive on the road. Please note this vehicle is affected by the Takata airbag recall (as are all 2009-2019 C3 / DS3's). Citroen will replace those for free, I'm awaiting on an appointment for the replacement to be done. Advert description is honest as it can be, and there are loads of photos. If you want to make an offer, then please do so via message beforehand rather than turn up on my drive expecting to haggle on price. Thank you.

Priced competitive due to condition. Great little runner though and very economical. This car has high mileage which comes with age. For transparency / honesty, items which needs attention - MOT expired. (SORN) - there is a belt slip when starting the car. Relatively new battery. - it struggles to go into 1'st and 2'nd gear; clutch? - some minor marks on bodywork , but no scratches or dents. Was not in any incidents while owning the car. - Tyres in great condition with 2 no relatively new - full service history - interior need some TLC too, which comes with age.

Ford, FOCUS Zetec S, Hatchback, 2010, Manual, 1596 (cc),5 doors SPARES (or repair?)

  • 126k miles

  • 1.6L Petrol
  • Manual
  • Hatchback
  • 42.8MPG

Ford Focus Zetec S for spares or possible repair? Bought a few months ago as a work horse for a project I have going on it has done its duty admirably but the MOT is now days away and I don't have time or motivation to deal with it. It has been through the wars!! It came to me as a former but repaired cat S, it was supplied MOT' d but I have no clue as to the history of what is was cat s for or the repairs it received. As per the photos there are dents and scratches on every panel so it's never winning any beauty contests but aside from a couple of niggles it's all there... The main if not only issues I know of are a bit of a tappy engine, worse on start up but does settle to some extent and occasionally the accelerator pedal loses power, this is easily rectified by bringing the car to a brief stop after which it resets and carries on fine, it's never done it above second gear and it has never left me stranded, it's more of a mild inconvenience. I have done a few long journeys in it and it has been perfectly reliable. The only other possibly pressing issue is a knock from the rear axle which I'm guessing would be the reason it might fail an MOT. I haven't code read it ever or investigated any of the faults so can offer nothing on what they might be. It is actually a really fun car to drive and does have some decent features including CD with functioning navigation, 17" alloys which while scuffed are straight and have decent tyres, Air conditioning although non functional, gas possibly, along with all the usual features of which most if not all seem to work! A dedicated mechanic or enthusiast might be able to get it sorted and MOT d but at the least its good for a stack of parts. It will be Sold As Seen for spares so check it thoroughly before you drive it away.

  • Hatchback
  • 67.3MPG

2013 corsa 1.3 cdti turbo diesel. A very clean example. Chain driven so no timing belt to worry about and cheap to run. 134678 miles will rise as car is still used daily. Full v5 present in my name and registered to my address. Hpi clear with full report avaliable. Mot until the end of January 2026. £35 tax per year which is pennies, the car runs on air it is very good on fuel. Book pack present with some history and receipts. It doesn't use any fluids, oil and coolant is always the same level. No lights on dash or issues while driving. This is a perfect 1st car or run around. Or use it for what I've been using it for; ferrying me back and for to work and fair play it's been amazing, starts every time every morning and drives without fault. Costs nothing to run, tax or insure. It pulls well and is pretty nippy for what it is only being a 1248cc engine. Its just had a major service with all filters including fuel filter changed and fresh oil with new sump plug. Tyres have plenty of tread and wheels are in very good condition. This car has a touch screen stereo with android auto/apple car play which your phone plugs into. Satnav works off Google/apple maps. The car benefits from electric windows and mirrors, trip computer, air con, remote central locking, the car has a SPARE WHEEL which is rare these days, daytime running lights, traction control/esp/abs/power steering etc etc. Exterior bodywork is very clean and presentable with very few issues bar one (see below) I'd say around 90% (there are a few marks here and there but nothing worth mentioning) Interior is very clean with a few marks but nothing crazy id say 95%. This car has two issues as follows: There is a small mark on the passenger rear door (see pic),the rest of the car is presentable with little to no damage. The windscreen is cracked but outside the drivers view so it isn't an mot fail. (Not in zone swept area A or B) It's in the black part only and passed the last 2 mots like this. If this bothers you you can get this fixed for around £35 excess on your insurance and it won't be classed as a claim. Mechanically the car is fine and is used everyday, a nice example of a 2013 corsa with a good spec and drives very well with no lights on dash. It starts, drives and stops every morning without fail. I can deliver locally to swansea no problem or I live right by llansamlet train station so can meet you there no worries. I'm also just off junction 44 m4 birchgrove so easy to get to. I don't mind you test driving this car as long as you like with proof of insurance, or I can take you for a drive in it however long you need for peace of mind. I've been 100% honest as I can in this listing, any questions I will answer as accurately as I can please message me. Please no timewasters or tyrekickers. I am open to realistic reasonable sensible offers, the car is valued at £1830 on the hpi report but I've taken into account the few minor issues. Thanks.

We bought this fabulous car 3 months ago and has everything you could possibly imagine replaced. We have suddenly found we have inherited a new car and don't need this one . This really is an unusual and well looked after car for his age. Great for someone who is looking for a reliable 1st car or family. Low milage 76000 This is what the previous owner has said about the sid. The Sedici is made by Suzuki and is exactly the same as the Suzuki SX4 except for the badges. It is 2 wheel drive with selectable 4 wheel drive in high and low ratio that all works well. Sid has been meticulously looked after by me and had only 3 previous owners, one of which was Fiat using him as a demo car. When I first acquired him in 2020 he had 60,000 miles on the clock backed up by old MOT’s, I thought the clutch pedal was a little high so had a new clutch fitted by Mister Clutch in Birmingham, they said that there was nothing wrong with the old clutch but as they had the gearbox off I told them to replace it. I my self, replaced all of the front suspension, front and rear brakes including rear cylinders, front disc’s and rear drums, water pump, fan belt, rear wheel bearing, front and rear axle oil, brake fluid and wiper blades, not because it needed it, but it was lockdown and I needed something to do and I wanted to make sure Sid was safe and reliable. Later that year the battery failed and I fitted a new battery. Since then I have done about 15,000 miles with zero issues, I have changed the engine oil every year (Fiat recommended oil) as did the previous owner (I have all the receipts),I have fitted a K&N air filter which you clean each year instead of replacing and it gives higher air flow, I have fitted Iridium spark plugs, the brake master cylinder had a bit of creep on it so I replaced that and have bled the brakes twice since owning Sid, I also replaced both rear axle drive seals as one had a slight weep, fitted uprated headlight bulbs, OEM Fiat mudflaps, new clutch pedal rubber and bought bespoke mats for inside. In Feb 2023 I had 4 new all weather tyres fitted, they have now done about 7,000 miles. He is great on fuel (about 40 mpg),is stable and steady. If you are looking for a fast car this is not the car for you, he goes well and will look after you if you look after him and care for him, but it is not a car to thrash around. MOT is until 10/11/2025, last MOT he failed on lower wishbone, as this had not long been changed and had a 5 year warranty on it the supplier sent me 2 new lower wishbones and I replaced both of them. He has a cam chain not cam belt so no issues there all the electrics work well, has electric windows which all work. I would get in Sid and drive him anywhere as I know him well and know how reliable he is, whoever decides to buy him will get a lovely little car, with great 4 wheel drive capabilities at a very low price. Bad bits: There is a small dent in the drivers door and a few scuffs on the bumpers that have been there since I have owned him. Wheels have a few scuffs again been there since I owned him. Aircon needs recharging. Thanks for looking and any questions please ask, if you want to take a look you are most welcome but without insurance you will not be allowed to drive him so please don’t ask, I won’t accept silly offers, I would rather he stays on the drive than give him away.
