Another anyone recognise this (sorry) 172 cup

[harey]

I'm off to view this cup this weekend but the MOT history is putting me off ever so slightly. It's had 5+ owners and only done 75k miles.
I can't understand which the springs are "incomplete" other than the gypsy way of cutting the springs to lower it????
Thoughts and opinions please

Snapped spring or a tester who hasn't got a clue when he's jacked it up.

At least it looks like it's had all new brakes in the last 12 months! The spring is a curious one, but could be as bloke says. I mean, one tester noted the headlamp washers didn't work. Cups don't have any!

Lol, yeah I thought that. It doesn't look in bad fettle but the MOT history made it look like it's had a hard life.
Slight bit of rust round the rear arch but I can look past that

We had a customers car that went to quick fit for an mot. 650 worth of work.

Was a 2012 49k nice looking fiesta.

Took it next door (ATS) advise both rear shocks, slight misting of oil.

Mmm

Mmm, indeed. Don't think you can see test centers without the V5.
Think I'll go see it and base my opinion on what I see on the day.
Does 5+ owners bother anyone else other than me tho?

5+ owners in 16 years?? Not a biggie imo

 

[imprezaworks]

My old Monaco172 had 7 previous owners 82k and bought from a dealer it was 11 years old. One of the best cars I have owned for reliability and enjoyment tbh.

It was over 10 years ago, have a look in the paper work see if anything corresponds to what he had done to make it pass a few days later if no further mots picked up the spring issues should have been rectified ? great car to own I love mine

Thanks all,
I’m going to view this weekend with every intention to buy

Fukt if I know. Would have been nice if the Renault dealer had mentioned it before the log book landed on my door mat! Part x'd it for another megane in the end?.
