Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure 1.0 - 1.9L Cars For Sale In Swanage, Dorset

6 Cheap 30+ MPG MOT Failure 1.0 - 1.9L Cars For Sale In Swanage, Dorset

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.

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.

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

  • 126k miles

  • 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.

Once going this is a great little 4WD! No MOT, it will start with help but the clutch is tight and possibly has blown the pipe? Approximate mileage as the battery is flat to show on the dashboard. Good tyres-BF Goodrich. Last driven in the winter on private land. Last on the road nearly 2 years ago. A project or a fun farm truck!
