Hi everyone, I have been offered a car that has been off the road for 12mths as the previous owner has lost their licence, the car has been owned for 11 yrs by them and has only 75k on the clock.
I have to say iam no expert when it comes to fixing cars so for a gamble at £500 would it be worth a shot?
The owner says it has a factory option on different alloys but I can not find any info on them ?
Thanks for your help

Check the cars MOT history online. If you do not buy it someone will. Do you want an Accord Type-R though? They are not everyone's cup of tea and I would recommend driving a good example first.

What's the overall condition of the bodywork and interior like? If there is no catastrophic rust then buy it!

You could always get it booked in for an MOT at a local garage. You would only have to insure it for the day.

Pics would help, I don't think there was any other factory option for alloys on the ATR...

As said, check the MOT online and check the history over the years, it says alot about the cars care and if its £500, its 100% worth a gamble.

And tax it. Also many insurance policies these days aren’t valid if there is no mot. They always used to “unroadworthy” but many these days also state a valid mot must be in force.

Easier to get a mechanic with a motor trade policy (providing it has the correct cover) to collect if for an mot on their own trade plates.

Actually you don’t need tax for a sorned vehicle vehicle provided the mot is prebooked.

I’ve just looked at Aviva’s Dayinsure and they seem to be ok with taking it for an MOT. Worth checking though.

For £500 you do not need peoples views just buy it now before you get put off, and then you will have a clear head to go forward with. Use the forum once you own it D.V.L.A has always allowed prebooked mot testing without tax Posted ImagePosted Image

At £500 just buy it. Even if it is a complete dog you will make more than that in parts (at least 2 or 3 times that)!

I think you just bagged one hell of a bargain. At worst 1000 squid to fix it and you still got a low mileage example for 1500 notes.....no brainer and then some :agree:/>
