Nuvola: Pre-purchase inspection needed or not?

[makeshiftUK]

Thank you. Was it for a GT MC Shift with potential cam variator issues (i.e. pre-July 2009)? Nareman thinks that if the issue did not happen after 12 years and c. 50,000 miles, it will not happen later.

What's the engine number?

It’s prior the one in the document.

Hello, I am considering a car at Nuvola and read so many good feedback on them that I am considering not doing a pre-purchase inspection on the car (even though I suck in mechanics). What would be your advice?
Thank you for your help.

Bought my first 4200 from him without a pre purchase inspection, discovered a couple of problems with it after driving back from London to North Wales. He offered me a full refund and then he came up to North Wales and took it back again. He is a gentleman, so much so that I immediately bought another one from him, again no pre purchase inspection. Never had a problem with that one, but had the confidence that if I did it would be sorted without any hassle. I would do the same again.

Will be one of my first ports of call
