Came across this one that looked decent enough initially. Seems like the hardest worked interior and exterior for that matter with only 23k miles! Steering wheel wear and interior seat/trim wear is worse than I have seen for a well looked after 100k mile car. Never seen a QP that bad before. When you go through there must be 50 issues with this car and that is not an exaggeration!!

An absolute dog of a QPV! Probably done 123k miles from new or it has been owned by someone who absolutely didn't care about their car.

That's not a chance on earth done 23000 miles!!

I am inclined to agree, connect it to SD and get the GCU read to see what the mileage stored in KM's is, convert back to M and compare with the dash.....and laugh!

Major haircut before its third birthday would be my thoughts; just the state on the steering wheel and the wear on the peddles is serious concern enough. Even if it was a city exec taxi for its early life, first MOT in 07 claims only 5k.

Agree with Coop...could be a haircut before each MOT each year.....or maybe a different car.....or maybe a shady MOT place. That is the worst wear on a car I think I have seen. My 200k mile XC90 is 10 times better than this shocker. I don't see how a car gets that bad unless used on as a dodgem in the fairground. I have sat in Merc E Class taxis on the continent with 500k km's that look immaculate in comparison.

I might give them £1,195 for it, but that's about the limit. I don't think I've seen many cars of that age in such bad shape, internally & externally. It's truly appalling that dealers think they can pass cars off like this when if they're claiming to be in the trade they'd know full well that its not a car with 23k on the clock. Stevie Wonder's dog could tell them that!

God thats a pile of ****.
not withstanding the awful colour combination: there are dents everywhere, the trident has fallen off the front, the grill is smashed, wear everywhere.
They haven't even cleaned the **** out of the boot - loving the wet leaves.
Amazes me how the dealers take the **** out of the public so much.
Having said that - they know there are enough stupid people out there not to spot a clocked car which is a ticking time bomb.

Bonkers isn't it. I just am lost for words as never seen a car that bad let alone a Maser. Certainly only worth sub £10k regardless if it had 23 miles on the clock. What a shocker!

On street London parking could easily take that toll over that time. Should look at hours used rather than miles given average speed of use could be 10mph.

I think they missed a one of the front of the miles.....If it has done 23k then the owner treated like a dog.

Reasons

Steering wheel in a condition that hampers proper control (2.1.1)
