I had a similar conversation about a fortnight ago with a guy who was MOT’ing a car for me - advised against buying anything that relies on electrical components for anything at all.
BMW’s - the sensors are apparently a “fucking minefield”
Everything that’s ever come from Audi in the last 8 years has consumed oil “like a pisshead in ‘Spoons”
He laughed his head off whilst he was telling me about a five-year old Mercedes that had just come out of warranty and developed electrical and technical faults on a monthly basis.
He also pointed out that whilst it’s not the most glamorous of vehicles, his Ford Galaxy had covered 250k miles and was still going well. It carried everything he needed as well as bikes on the rear hatch and a roof boot. He bought it from a minicab firm a decade ago for next to nothing.

MOT yesterday on the Beetle. I had a hilarious half hour banter about cars and life with the KwikFit guys near E&C. I had a string of unreliable cars BITD and at one stage that banter at the mechanics was a very regular occurrence. I had forgotten how enjoyable those moments are. Remember to be nice to your spanner spinners.
