    Failed nct, sold at bargain price, fixed up by someone clever/handy enough to fix it and put back on the market I think, given the two mileage readings in last two months on the nct cert.

    Did very, very little mileage in last 4 years so obviously need to be checked, but wouldn't write it off.

    The height it's sitting at he might have gotten a fright when it was on a ramp and took the pics not long after.

    the NCT says it's a 2008 model but the car in the pictures has the front bumper off a facelifted model from 2011 onwards...... The reg in the pictures looks to be 13.... under the XXXXXX's

    Yeah it seems dodgy.

    Also why was the NCT done twice over the space of about a monthl, I wonder was it to hide mileage.

    Now I can see that. Wasn't really looking that closely.

    Definitely something looks off in this ad.

    Would a failed and not retested on time car that subsequently passed a month later have mileage from both tests recorded on the cert?

    Because I can't see a reason to do test twice in such a short space of time tbh.

    They were late testing it and only got a month left so probably sent it through again for a full years NCT for when they went to sell it.

    The ad is fairly poor, reg can be seen on the NCT Cert. all checks out. No mention of belt being done. Would need to factor in a change

    These are supposed to be fairly reliable compared with the 1.8, thoughts?

    The seller of the 08MO Mondeo in Limerick stole pics from the below 132KE Mondeo in Kildare.

    For whatever reason, it appears very dodgy!

    That's all it's worth. They weren't particularly good when they were now and the 2.0 is a bit of a guzzler

    35 mpg!!! My hole!! The diesel wouldn't do that. You'd be lucky to get into the 20's doing town driving. Grand yoke for someone doing about 80km a week..

    I knew a fella who had a petrol auto, years ago, and he told me it used to get something like 16 mpg in town. Don't know how accurate that number is, but by all accounts it was an alcoholic anyway.
