I reckon the garage has piked up their act since a few years ago!!!! Get an RAC inspection have heard they are pretty good even with scoobs, before we bought the wagon we had now we were lookin at one down in Ayrshire and RAC inspected it for the guy who was in line to get it before us!! The inspection turned out everything was dandy and we were hoping the guy would reject the car but he didnt so we found another wagon. Rac will check any kind of car some of the inspectors are wiser than others, some might know a bit more about mods than others. Just your luck on the day!! Get it inspected and take it a test run. you'll know then how you feel about the car.
