Overall from the photos I've seen, it's in good shape [1]
  • 2017 White Zetec Navigator
  • 14000mi
  • 1.0 ecoboost
  • One previous owner
  • Service history
  • 6 months warranty
  • Ford franchised dealer
  • £10,000

I'll definitely test drive before but I know myself and will be under pressure on the forecourt which is why I try to gather as much as I can.

I've even thought about buying vehicle inspection but not sure if it's worth it.
Thank you.

when in 2017 was it registered, if before 1 april, the annual car tax would be £30, but after it's £145

if you don't know the date, tell us the reg no, and I should be able to find out for you.

also insist on a very long MOT especially if it is currently using an mot extension.

leaving cars standing for some time isn't good for them, the tyres can go 'square', brakes can lock on, battery discharge and modern fuel go stale.
but if it has been moved about a bit it should be fine.

surface rust on calipers and drums is normal.

ok I fancied a challenge,
a quick search for bmax for sale, white etc, suggests its a car in Hampshire

if I am correct, it was registered 20.07.2017, though built 4 months earlier
and has fresh mot till late august next year

I think the price is about right given that its a ford dealer
my other searches found nothing untoward

go for it
