  • Hatchback
  • 55.4MPG

Please read description carefully. This car was working absolutely perfect for a long time. The problem started when I came from work one day parked up perfectly fine and for some it would not start the next day. I tried jumpstarting but did not start. Not sure what is wrong with it. I’m sure for someone who knows about cars, is not a big job. I don’t have the time to get it looked at or contemplated spending too much on a car of this age. It has MOT and the condition both inside and out is very good for year. Tax on it is only £35/ year. The price reflects current condition. I spend a lot of money always to maintain it well. Price negotiable.
