Suburban Fox

This dealer is untrustworthy, and the cars they sell cannot be guaranteed to survive a single MOT. I bought a Peugeot 206 last August (2015), thinking it looked good enough - from what I could tell, there was nothing wrong with it... until I took it for MOT about 2 weeks ago (July 2016). It failed catastrophically, with a repair bill in excess of £1000. Needless to say, the car had to be scrapped, but I noticed something interesting as I took the documentation to the salvage dealer: the original refusal of MOT certificate stated that it had a damaged shock absorber, and registration plate lamps. I thought nothing of it at the time - things wear out and need fixing, and as it had a current MOT, I'd assumed those things were fixed. In the MOT that I just had, however, guess what two things it failed on: registration plate lamps and suspension. To have those same things go wrong in 12 months suggests that either somebody did a poor job of fixing them, or they never fixed them at all.
