A fresh MOT gives reassurance to any potential buyers.

I'm sure it would be £40 or so well spent...

Not necessarily, as long as the car has a full service history, I wouldn’t be too concerned about a winding down £40 MOT on a £10k+ car. You only worry about those sorts of things on cheap bangers.
Not sure about that, its not just cheap bangers that can suffer from leaking dampers/worn brakes etc and a service is not necessarily going to result in those things being addressed.
A fresh MOT does bring more peace of mind imho

Not being funny but you don’t need an MOT certificate to know whether the car has those issues that you’ve mentioned. For all you know a seller could’ve got a postal MOT.

For me personally, I would rather see a full service history and check underneath the car myself. For those that don’t want to get grubby you can always pay the AA for a full inspection which gives more peace of mind than an MOT imo.

Nice looking car OP,

Good advert but I would stick it through and Mot for the price its a no brainer. It also gives a perspective buyer less ammunition to knock the price of the car down.

Good Luck :thumbsup:

Each to their own, but if I were considering spending 5 figures on a 12 year old car then I'd expect it to have a fresh MOT, especially for a private sale. I'd question why the seller was unwilling to spend less than half a percent of the car's advertised price on a certificate giving it a clean bill of health. It's clear from your posts that there are people who would not be bothered either way, but I wouldn't want the OP to lose a potential sale for the sake of £40 or so.

Anyway, I've said my piece. The OP can take it or leave it - it makes no difference to me. I hope he gets a good price for his car - it looks lovely.

Did you ever find out what was causing the noise out the tail end or did the buyer just go with it?
