Although after 4yrs and 30k it's now worth what it was when I got it
Crazy isn't it. Bought my VW for £1400 exactly 3 years ago and have just spent £800 to get it through MOT. To get something that was
a. big enough for my requirements
b. NOT a POS with 160,000 miles on the clock and only 3 months left on the MOT
and c. not a Zafira,
meant spending ~£4k on a 10 year old second hand car! Lets not forget the hassle of finding, viewing, testing and then uncovering the hidden faults. I just couldn't be arsed.

TBH we've been a bit shit on the service history and I have no plans to sell it. Although after 4yrs and 30k it's now worth what it was when I got it 🤷
Just thinking it's been due a service for a while.
I'm going to price it all up and see what the difference is.
But yeah it's a strong and valid point.
Edit: £100 materials
Spark Plugs (£30)
4l of oil (£35)
Oil filter (£10)
Air filter (£15)
Polen filter (£10)
