Dodgy S2 on Ebay
Discussion
Looks like it is a case of “buyer beware” on this S2 recently listed on Ebay :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175106003709
The DVLA website shows an interesting set of further details. MoT in September 2012 - mileage 50,800. Five years later, MoT in September 2017 – mileage 50,100 ! Might be a typo by the earlier tester, I suppose...
It is untaxed since 30 December 2016, but MoTd in late 2017, suggesting that it was driven without tax to the testing centre. The MoT expired Sept 2018. But now on the Ebay listing the stated mileage is 53000 and the seller claims it “drives very well” and recently serviced. That's either a lie, or he has been driving it without tax or MoT.
Final nails in the coffin - he claims it has a carbon dash and white dials, which the photos show is untrue. His phone number has a digit missing. And he wants £150 to be paid BEFORE COLLECTION. And he already has two adverse feedback comments when selling vehicles, one obviously marked as a positive in error.
Don't just walk away ... run !
