Alot of dodgy characters about, best avoided.

Try and get a name and post it here, or a link would also be beneficial to anyone who might be looking.

Surely if you check the mot history online that would prove the mileage discrepancy?
People like this should be fined as you spend your hard earned money on what you think is genuine and true and find later on down the line some pr1ck did this just to take more money off you.  :angry:

tbh if anyone uses 'neva' in an advert ide never buy anything off them.

I know i havent got the best spelling but atleast i know how to use capital letters and full stops instead of just constantly SHOUTING.
