Have you rang him and asked when the last time the belts were done?

 

[Jay.S]

The MOT & Tax and tax is up soon and that could be expensive.

Doesnt look to bad, obvious things to look out:-

Service History when the belts where last done.
- rear discs are usually something to check as you can try knock abit of the price if they need doing.
- Dephaser listen to the engine whilst it is idling and if it sounds a metallic tinny noise or slightly like a diesel it could need doing, runs the revs up to around 1500rpm if they noise goes away will most likely be the Dephaser.
- general wear & tear really

No knocks, bangs or rattles?

That can't be right, must be the only 172 in history that doesn't.
