It's a nice car and I'm sorely tempted to take a chance on it, but there are only 4 garage stamps in the book.
The longest gap between stamps is 37k to 71k. I'm *told* it has been owned by an elderly couple in the same village as the garage, and he did his own oil changes, but I've been unable to substantiate that, so far. Three or four things have been written in the service book in black pen, including one at about 60k in that long gap, but no bills or evidence to back them up. And the pen appears to be the same one used for the most recent service by the seller.
On the plus side, as I say, the trader (a fairly sizable village garage at Shipdham), is prepared to give 6 m warranty, whereas most others I've seen are offering only 3 m. And they are only 20-30 miles away, so I could feasibly return it, if there were problems.
There aren't many about in East Anglia, and they do seem to be going up in price. Sandles at Kings Lynn had a 16 plate with 46K for 9,699, and later put it up to 9999! It's just sold.
All opinions welcome on how much damage a missed service or two can do to an HDi? (I have a garage literally across the road from me, who would look after it well, from now on, I hope - they've done our other cars at reasonable cost for 13 years, now, and also seem to have a penchant for sports and racing marques.)
