Anyway (as I'm sure you're all dying to know) it failed the MOT that I'd asked for (having under six months left*) - requiring new front bushes at £450 (each?) which the trader isn't desperate to spend. Coupled with very occasional noise from a rear brake whilst not braking and a need for a new front number plate and rear bumper, it probably failed the "buy on condition" test so it's back to autotrader.

"No it doesn't. Yes you can."
"OK"
