no tax,mot and a not so sort after 320i £200 max but as said if the kit is a real one and not fibregash then £450 max then if it turns out to be a rotten turd you get your money back and make £100 for the kit .

For a very rough estimate, have a try with this:

£400 for the kit, £200-250 for the exhaust if it's a full system, £200-400 for the leather depending on condition, scrap the rest for £140, money for wheels depending what it has on.
You could potentially earn back over a grand fragging it, but you've got to get your hands dirty so needs to be profitable.
In my eyes any car without an MOT is worth scrap value to buy, what you've got to ask yourself, is why wouldn't the seller spend the £30-50 on an MOT and increase the chances of selling it for a good amount? Tells me there's issues lurking

I think you can check the VOSA history if you get the document reference number off the log book.
If it's just expired and not been in for a new MOT, it could be innocent, or it could be the current owner knows it's so catastrophically shagged it's not worth wasting the money on an MOT

Yes you can, you can also use the logbook number. Great thing for when you're looking at buying a car.afcbob wrote:If i was to get the las mot number could i check online with that if its been in again and had a fail or can you not do this
