I have bought a cheap part ex 55reg Panda 1.1 Active with 68K miles off ebay from a garage. It only cost me £775 but it hasn't got any service history. The mileage seems correct because it has all the old MOT's.
Before I drive it anywhere it's going to need a thorough clean. There is a reason it was cheap - it is utterly disgusting inside, filthy dirty and reeking of dogs. But the seats and interior trim all seem undamaged so after I have taken the whole inside, out and washed it, I think it should be OK.
After that it will need a service with oil, air filter and plugs and then a check of how much is left on the brake pads. I could however do with some advice on what oil I should use and what else I should check and/or service on a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Thanks,
Andrew
