I have just checked the VIN, because of the potential brake booster recall, and have noticed that my car is a few days away from its eighth birthday. In all this time, apart from servicing, fuel and tyres etc, it has only needed a new battery and a refurbished calliper. I reckon that that’s a pretty good track record and certainly better than any other car that I have ever owned. Well impressed

 

Mine is 11 years old and has needed a new roof and is on its 3rd battery, although battery 2 has Hellfords - avoid like plague.
