MOT April '19

Reluctant sale as this has been by far the best car I have owned, however I need something bigger to go travelling in.

This car has mostly been used for carrying mountain bikes around and driving between Dorset and London.

Good condition inside, only issues are a small tear to the drivers seat bolster and one of the slats on the central dash vents doesn't move with the rest of them.

Outside is not too bad; small dent just behind the drivers door, large dent to sill (but the creases are smooth and the paint is not cracked) and the tailgate has a bit of rust below the rear window, and one of the wing mirrors has a bit of the casing missing. Despite these bits it still looks entirely presentable from a few metres away.

All the bits and bobs work (I've never used the CD changer but the main head unit one works so I assume that the multichanger does too), and this one has cruise control which I think is unusual on these.

One of the previous owners has added a couple of engine upgrades including a forge wastegate and pipercross panel filter. There might be other upgrades but I've never checked, though a friend once said that mine feels faster than his almost identical standard vRS. Based on this evidence I would estimate it has at least 100000 bhp.

The wheels look pretty scabby due to lacquer peeling

Has been well looked after under my care (though I can't vouch for previous owners) having had the following in the year and a half I have owned it:

- 3 services (most recent one only a week ago)

- all new tyres (full size good quality spare too)

- n/s front wheel bearing

- both front springs

- front ARB bushes

- front discs and pads (Pagid / brembo)

- aux belt

- MAF sensor

only advisory on most recent MOT was slight corrosion to front brake shield

any questions do not hesitate to ask, car is located mostly near Blandford Forum, Dorset, but also sometimes in Wanstead, London, so it can be available for viewing in either of these places.

mileage will continue to increase as it is still in daily use.

I will get better pictures when the weather is less horrible and I get around to washing it.
