After years of amazing, trouble free, low cost motoring, it's time to say goodbye to Rory.

I bought him in 2016 with just over 26K miles on the clock and since then, he has been the most reliable and economical car i've ever owned.

He has a full service history, had a full service on 26th February and a fresh MOT on 25th March 2024 with no issues. He's also just had new front discs and pads. He has also had a new belt and water pump, but I genuinely can't remember when this was. It was within the last 40K miles, you can see the belt has no signs of wear. 

He's done high miles, but his engine, gearbox and clutch are still all good. He achieves amazing MPG, averages around 64MPG for me. I do mostly 50mph plus driving, will still return high 50's around town.

He is zero road tax.

The few bad bits. My mum in her wisdow, managed to catch the front wing passengers side, see pictures. The next is that his fans no longer work. When you are at speed on a motorway, you can feel heat coming through but at low speed there is nothing. I haven't investigated what the issue is. Final issue is the clutch pedal doesn't always return on it's own. This has happened before and it was a £20 new plastic clip that needed to be replaced.

Reason for sale is that i've bought a bigger family car. We needed 3 proper seats across the back.

Before you bid, remember this is a 10 year old car, he has got signs of wear and tear. The odd stone chip and scratch here and there. But if you are looking for a reliable, cheap, well maintained car then happy bidding.

Any inspection or test welcome prior to bidding close. If you are the successful bidder, please make contact promptly after the auction to arrange payment and collection.

Happy bidding.
