Its just on a timer, the system isn't intelligent like on some of the modern diesels where it can tell the condition of the oil.... It will just pop up after the time or mileage, whichever is sooner.
1.2 TCE is a good little engine, im not really sure about this though they've done it with the dynamique S or the clio world series both of which look far better than this!
Its a shame someone on here didn't go and look over it for you...
In terms of the MOT brakes would only fail if they were metal to metal and/ or binding, 172 Cups always fail the MOT on brake balance anyways but there is a vosa technical bulletin out on this.
The exhaust should have been advised...
As above you could plough into the side of a taxi for example and providing the car wasn't written off it wouldn't show up on HPI. Im sure i ve owned cars that have been in a bump before, unless your a body work expert you will probably never know!
Ah the dash, I was waiting for that one to come up, my favourite! Comparing the two is like deciding which leg I would like to break off and then f**k myself with!!
And you think the Cup one is just so much better?
They are both pretty bad interior wise, they are both badly put together, have...
Call in to your local friendly body shop and get them to check the boot floor etc just for piece of mind, it sounds like you've got away ok with it, these things happen unfortunatly.
Ha Ha just seen this! Can you please explain to me then why your 'gem' of a 3 grand cup needs a gearbox?!

I appreciate your frustration but its very cheap, bottom end of the market cheap infact AND its at a dealer, so im not surprised its a complete shed! For a dealer to have a PH1 on that cheap its got to be a dog, just think what he bought it in at!
Mileage is a pisser though, its not exactly...
A £3k Cup will be a complete dog with over 80k...
You need in my opinion £2.5k for a decent PH1 that doesn't need its second cambelt change the following day (many forget these are 10yrs old now).
Decent Cup is £3.5-4k, I looked at a £4k example which was described as minty mint, was average at...
As usual Dan your photos make it appear nicer than it actually is!! Its dry but cold, took the boat down the river this morning though so not all bad, better than the rain yesterday!
I don't honestly know, it feels quite pokey in the lower gears and it gets up to a ton easily enough but I haven't pushed it further, I expect its probably Zetec S pace, feels quicker though but then all turbo cars do.
Wastegate makes a cool noise, and with the paddle shift its all about the fun...
