That's been hawked around various dealers for a year or so, always at inflated prices.  I would be tempted but really don't like the colour and can't really be having another one.  I'm used to paying £300 for these, not £3,000!

Fuck me, a City Turbo! One of Honda's only forays into forced induction. I had no idea there were any in the country. 

Civic Type-Rs are turbocharged nowadays, disappointingly.

There is a Vauxhall Royale parked behind it.

@SiC, just up the road from you but I'd not be bothered about the metric wheels as I had them on mine and a PITA getting tyres.

I think the entire Civic range is, isn't it?

The 3.2 XJ6 X300 I won on a Roffle put me off that era of Jag. I'd been wanting one for years and I found it to be a profound disappointment.

Thought this must be the one I spotted last year, but it's actually not. Almost the spitting image, and I think it must be the same owner

I have every respect for fair and decent testers. My own tester is one of them - I fully trust his judgement but also know that he won't start sucking through his teeth because he's been presented with a car which is almost two decades old. 

Testers like the fella/fellette above need pulling up on their judgements. 'Chassis rails corroding very very bad but was not excessive enough to fail'? Jeez.

100% agree. I think the issue is that a lot of testers are looking at what could develop into a problem soon, rather than what they're supposed to be checking - defects present at the time of test.

It's like failing brake pads because they aren't quite bad enough but they won't last until next year. Or a tyre because it's on 1.7mm.. yes, it should be replaced but that's not a valid MOT concern. That's what advisories are for.

A lot of testers just don't know the manual adequately, I can only assume they glaze over at the annual refresher course because I'm forever seeing testers bicker with eachother quoting various sections of the test manual over what is and isn't a fail. I've lost count of how many 51 plate cars for example I've seen failed for an EML light

For example, tyre fitting isn't a fail anymore unless in the case of an arrow of direction. Fitted inside facing out is just a P+A but I guarantee if you went on Facebook you'd find two testers bickering about it somewhere!

All they needed to do in this case is put (xyz) mounting prescribed area corroded, but not excessive or whatever the wording would have been in 2011 and that's all bases covered

Seeing "undertray fitted" really pisses me off. Very divisive opinion though! I wish DVSA would implement a test condition note section or something where such things could be noted rather than logging it as an advisory. Being accompanied by "monitor and repair if necessary" is just daft
