Anywhere to post info on possible dodgy car?

Good afternoon all, just wondering if there was a thread for putting up links to possible dodgy cars please? Saw one on donedeal and motorcheck flagged it as a Uk import and previously stolen and recovered also a cat D writeoff..seller was not very forthcoming with the info...

Please post the motorcheck report or I will have to close this.

In fairness it's not a big money car, if it looks alright and drives alright it's probably fine, that car does look quite tired though and has lots of fairly obvious poor cosmetic repairs. That said, dilligence before buying is always a good thing and there is plenty of cheap Yaris out there without a chequered past.

There is usually a good reason why a Yaris of that vintage is a bit cheap.

Stolen recovered wouldn't worry me too much to be honest.

Cat D is minor also but of course it would be nice to know how bad.

Cheap motoring to be honest.

Typical pizza delivery car you see all the Indian delivery guys hammering around in, given a tough aul life.

I'd say it's an absolute sh!tbox

How did they escape in the yaris?

Screenshot attached, it was just to give a heads up as my insurers wouldn't insure it without a full engineers report, regardless of any nct past or present it had....

It's a year older but I'd be surprised if you couldn't buy it for similar money +/- €50, advertised I the same area as the one you linked. It looks in infinitely better condition.

Fairplay to you for doing a motorcheck report and letting people know,most people don't bother especially with a car that age.

Car was also uneconomic repair here in Ireland and sold as salvage, usually means it was cat c or d
