Age and mileage, please
I’m looking for a specific kind of vehicle, and suddenly noticed a certain familiarity about my list. See if you can spot it.Not too young - they’re too expensive.
Not too old - they’re too high maintenance
Number of owners - lots is a definite eyebrow-raiser
Fuel consumption - how heavy a drinker?
Performance when the going is tough
Comfort - definitely important
Looks - don't mind a bit tatty or dented, but not rusty
And I wouldn’t really want a vehicle which coughed, spluttered and emitted clouds of smoke when started up on a cold morning.
Yup. Very like a singles checklist
At least with vehicles I can check them on DVLA (our vehicle website) and see when they last had a roadworthy test. One possible turned out to be 10 years older than the ad said, and had 100K more on the clock. That’s a bit familiar too
Any advice? On vehicles, I mean, but all the funnier if they relate to singles too
