It'll suit my needs fine, and even though it's a 2009 model it's only got 28k miles on the clock as it was bought as a motability scheme vehicle, so came with FSH, all the receipts and not been thrashed by any boy racers either.

We've had Motability cars since 2004 as my wife is disabled. They're always prestine when we hand them back as I look after them. Milage is rarely more than 21k. I've always thought they'd be a bargain buy for someone.

The downside is that some Motability owners don't treat their cars well. They trash them like a hire car and run them ragged.

Saying that I think those owners are rare and they'll get told to pay for any damages that isn't normal wear and tear as essentially the contract is a lease. If a car comes back in good condition the owner gets a £250 award.

Looks like you've done okay.
