Hopefully it'll have had a recent decent battery, service etc. Uprated starter solenoid is another essential. Check the tyres, look for the MOT and any advisories. Also, if you are lucky the can will have been changed as they weigh more than a small battleship. How many miles has it done? Reactions: 1 person
