I find it pretty mad that such high spec cars that are only a few years old don’t have a FSH. And surely a dodgy MOT history is an absolute red flag?

Although, I’ve no idea about what buying cars like that actually involves.

Seller states that it had the correct, minor service at Mercedes Brooklands, and that he's asked that it be put into the digital service record. If that's true and the history can be edited I'll likely still buy the car (the number of owners is a bit of a bugger, but it's the lowest mileage 5.5 litre for sale in the UK that I can find).

The EML advisory on the MOT on the Cocaine Express is a worry, for sure. It's got all the toys though.

How many owners? And also, when you say the Audis are too expensive to insure, how much are you actually talking (I’m morbidly curious).

Again, I know nowt about it, but engine management light would shit me right up, lol. Especially on something with a massive complicated 550bhp engine. But maybe that’s par for the course when you’re buying something along these lines.

Costs me 500 a year to insure my V10 RS6 Avant. But I'm old, live somewhere quiet outside London and have a no claims history decades long. That is for both personal and business use though.
