How old is your motor?

[SIMMO SAYS]

Had my Toyota Previa1995 M reg since 2000----50,000 miles when I bought it (London Taxi of some sorts).
Done another 115,000 miles since!
Been all over the country with my missus & four kids who are now 16 - 32.
Never let me down really in all those years.
Now failed its mot on emissions FFS! £600 to put right - time to get rid now I think

Less than a year. Sold my beloved car last year (registered 2008) because she was becoming expensive to mend. Shed a tear when they took her away - even though we shouldn't feel emotion about cars Myrtle was different.

Perhaps the software is broekn. Get that checked out first, might save you a few bob

11 months old and already 20K on the clock! Still wouldn't know an emission if it jumped out and bit me (which it very well might at some stage I guess)

Iv'e been quoted £83.00 to take her away------I thought they were talking about the wife

Had a new catalytic two years ago-----'Time to say goodbye' methinks

Blimey. Not that long ago they were paying you a couple of hundred for your scrap car.

Perhaps they would throw in a curry if it was the latter?

1996 Mazda Bongo. Had it 8 years. Been to Sahara, Crete, Turkey, Peacehaven and now in Iceland sitting in the rain having a glass of wine. Have also renovated a 30s house using it to carry all crap to Shoreham tip, where they even accept nuclear waste. £3,800 for a V6 engine was a good buy. Time to get something else after this trip though.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

8 years. And yes, its a VW. But fortunately it is petrol. A 2 L golf GT automatic with leather seats and a 6 CD port. I love it, but its probably time to kiss it goodbye, now we have all the bloody speed cams on the motorways (6 point in 6 months).

57 plate Hyundai I30 Diesel, done 140k miles, and still drives fine. Need to look for something new [well to be specific used] as family outgrowing it.

If you are serouisly thinking of getting rid let me know. I know a few locally who do banger racing and may take it off your hands for free. [locally assuming you still live on WW in Bev]

Three weeks and it's got a 2.0 TDI engine.......

I'm a proud owner of a 1995 N reg Silver Rover 214, that I have owned for the last 7 years. Cost me £575 current mileage 96k. Has always been cheap to maintain and there are no signs of it dying. I am too attached to it to replace it until I'm forced to.

 

[Shoreham Gull]

3 year old Audi A6 Avant s-line 2.0 TDi..

Suppose to produce 57mpg, but done 42mpg over 1800 miles!! Can I make a claim against VW

You sure you don't need to get the MOT done somewhere else...my Toyota Hiace 2008 sailed through its MOT a couple of weeks ago

2009 Mitsubishi L200 Trojan. Bought on a whim new (just wanted something different) and it's the best vehicle (other than my motorbikes) that I've owned. I've used it for all manner of things and it returns the occasional 40mpg (according to Fuelly.com) which is superb. I love driving it
