Not every car is a problem car
Not every car that comes to us is a non-runner or a problem. This one was the opposite. A 2014 Vauxhall Astra estate, the 1.3 diesel, bought from a local business owner over in Corbridge who had looked after it the way you would want, with the full book pack still in the glovebox.
Straight through its MOT with no prep
It had done around a hundred thousand miles, but you would never have known it from the way it drove. We were confident enough in it that we took it straight to the MOT station without any prep at all, and it went through without a problem. That does not happen with many cars, and it says everything about how it had been kept.
The owner had always been a Vauxhall man and had just bought himself a brand new Astra, so this one was moving on to us. With aircon and only £20 a year in road tax, it is exactly the sort of honest, sensible car a lot of people are after. Genuinely, a great purchase from a great guy. We wish every deal could be as easy and as straight as this one.
