Its because they are installed..most testers ignore it, some will put it on so it looks like they are doing the job properly, nothing to be concerned about

As far as I'm aware, the under trays installed note means the MOT tester was unable to inspect a part of the vehicle without removing said undertray (which they cannot do)

Agreed happy to travel but can only make weekends unfortunately, he does seem to be fair he said I could walk away if not as describedThere is limited choice on these cars so you will have to travel to find exactly what you want or it could be a very long wait.
I will spend the next few days biting nails and stressing then see what I do on the day

Thanks Probocop and Mr Tourettes
I have seen a few more and it does look like some testers add it and some do not, maybe I am too cautious and should just roll the dice

Put a post out asking people close by to go and have a look at it on your behalf - most of them on here will be pretty tough on any car, at least if someone volunteers at least you will have an idea if its worth travellingcn123_123 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 12:16 pmAgreed happy to travel but can only make weekends unfortunately, he does seem to be fair he said I could walk away if not as describedThere is limited choice on these cars so you will have to travel to find exactly what you want or it could be a very long wait.

Thanks everyone for all the help and advice ....I have got one
Big thanks to Zulu4 you were so right no lag in the auto so I got one
57 plate 50000 miles I had to up my budget £8250 but think I did ok drives great........ but the journey begins, likely needs many bushes, suspension (Coils have been replaced) etc but it is as old as my son and I have a few years left in me
What a car it is so quick and sounds great, missed several junctions and turns on the way home, some on purpose some because well you know
Garden > driveway was supposed to come first, it will come....... but not this weekend
Again thanks everyone, this wont be the last post as I start to get her back to her youth.

Congratulations.
Looking very nice. As you say, the garden needs to become a drive if that's where it'll live. Not good all that damp going up into it.
In the meantime, may you miss many more junctions in your search for the longest route home.

Well done, and welcome to the exclusive 3.0si Auto club. We only accept the best candidates.
You are right, it really is a quick car for an auto. It changes gear as quickly as I could in a manual.
