Take these four questions to the viewing

Written for this car specifically, from what we found in its history.

01The rear brake pads have been advisory-flagged three years running. Have they been replaced since the last MOT, and can you show me the invoice?

02The previous keeper sold it after under a year. Do you know why they let it go so quickly?

03The car failed an MOT in 2020 on a headlight. Was it a simple bulb, or is there a recurring wiring issue?

04You're asking £11,600. Our fair value is £11,450 with rear brake work still to do. Would you take £11,000?
