The time has come to sell the R53, I've had it for 3 years now and I've found that I no longer use it enough to justify the insurance and road tax costs.

Current mileage: 118,632
Due a service in: 10,100 miles
MOT: 8th Feb 2021
I bought it in February 2017 with 110k miles on it, not long after that I had the thermostat replaced under warranty and a full service done with B&M in Glasgow, I have receipts somewhere for that work.
In 2018 it had some more work done, the rear brakes where replaced along with the NSR wheel bearing, and a big service, again done by B&M, I should have receipts for that as well.
It didn’t need any work for 2019, this year it’s had new brake pipes at the front done at MOT.
It has a JCW exhaust, JCW grills and a Sony head unit with Bluetooth phone prep, apart from that it’s a standard R53. Just the one remote key fob.
There’s a few things I know of that a new owner might want to look at and I’d rather be up front and honest about these than try and hide anything:
Alloys need a refurb, they where kerbed before I got it, tyres are decent but probably worth replacing when fixing the wheels
Air Con needs recharged
It has the typical R53 oil leak, think every MOT has mentioned it
One scrape on the rear bumper, other than that it’s good, few stone chips on the bonnet
As it’s been sitting the last few months, it’s not been used a great deal, with less than 200 miles since it’s MOT, it has developed a squeak somewhere, might just be lack of use, might be something else
Looking for £1500
