I wouldn't touch it with the world's largest and longest barge pole. Given that I bought an Approved Used low mileage RRS AB late last year and it's been nothing short of a pain in the arse since, I'd be frankly terrified with a high mileage partial history car. Not a chance. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

Ah. I suppose I knew already but liked the idea of getting one for that sort of money. |

If its only had 2 owners, try contacting the last one. The non servicing probably happened with him. The car probably does have a service history, but maybe he used his local garage or did it himself. I doubt anyone would drive for 74k miles without a service. Another point is 74k miles since 2016 is some going & probably motorway miles where there is less strain on all components, no braking, constant speed & car warmed fully up every day with no stop/start in traffic, unlike a lot of low mileage cars that are driven in town every day for a few minutes at a time when all the wear occurs.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly I don't have time to try and get in touch with the previous owner (It has to be paid for today otherwise they send it to auction)

I'm sure they will hold it back till you do due diligence on it. Whether it goes to the auction this week or next makes no difference if they think they may have a sale. They are trying to push you into a sale saying that. Ask them for the previous owners details, try Facebook (probably the quickest way) Failing that go to the auction, you may get a bargain. Good luck

Try https://www.thephonebook.bt.com, pop in his name & Isleworth & it will show up name address & phone number. With an unusual name there will only be one or two if you don't have his address

Right, the garage that MOT'd it in Feb 18 at 92k also serviced it but not the year before so so far it's missing a service from 2017 circa 60/70k miles. |

I would phone Disco Mikey for his advice, he may say run away or not, but he is an expert 01382 690500 at least it will put your mind at rest. We have all been there, wanting a car but there is a nagging doubt. |
