From first glance, this 240 looks like a bargain at £995, but probably one of the most interesting MOT histories I've ever seen

Very bizarre. Great spot. 

I can only assume it was washed weekly in salt water and did all of it's (tiny) mileage on Belgian Pave. Or it was owned by an old fella stinking of  'old money' and the MOT man saw him coming a mile away.

Glutton for punishment.

How weird. Some of the notes on the MOT are taking nit-picking to the extreme (rusty wheels?), but even then, it sounds like one of the most abused 240s I've seen. A broken front suspension arm takes some serious doing on these, as they are made out of vault doors and since they are single skin don't have any rust traps.

"2007 Ford Fiesta tenth" 

Erm no, nice try, but it's a 2004 Ford Focus... 

And the best bit- 

"Low cigarette lighter consumption insurance"

What's that even supposed to mean 🤣

Do you just mash random words and phrases together when selling on Facebook these days 🤣

Edit - I actually missed the last line - 

"I am waiting for you in private"

Sounds ominous 🤣

Google Translate seems to struggle with Romanian sometimes.

Nice to drive and decent on fuel but fuck me do they rot.

Too right they do! I think the (at least) the last two MOTs on mine they said 'this'll be the last year it sees the road' as it was welding upon welding and the rest looked shit. Absolutely loved the way it drove and it didn't hang about, either.

Do Dacias rot then?

Early ones were recalled for rust circa-2015-16. Alarmingly, this one is catching it on the boot slam panel, where the ends of the boot seal meet, some serious bubbling. And last MOT has advised against outer sills on this.

Fuck, that is fantastic and just down the road from me.  Watchlisted.

It was owned by a Talbot enthusiast and club member who passed away recently. His Doom Blue Horizon auto just sold recently

Clean looking 1999 Audi A3 from a time when Audi were making cars that were more "clever" and less "angry", pity it's not a pre-PD 1.9 though. It's got the best wheels with good MOT history, and not in silver going for it at least.
