I bought an R private in October, we already had a GT HDI so I thought I knew these cars, the car came with full Peugeot history, and extended Peugeot warranty, no MOT failure on the list, just one advisory for a tyre 2 years ago, all servicing and MOTs done by Robin and day.
I paid £16000 with 36k, I thought I had gone through the car thoroughly but I should have jacked up properly and inspected, it's been a nightmare since I inspected when I got back, missing damaged undertray under starter, damaged front arch liner, siezed undertray fixings, siezed inner front callipers not making contact with disc.
MOT was done in August this year so obviously a lot has happened since then, I stupidly trusted the seller, it's very risky buying private and I should have got an AA inspection, I am currently in the process of mending the car and the cost is absolutely frightening, it was probably only worth 11k private to be frank in that condition.
Mine too is one of the last to be registered sept 15.
