Hi all,

I’ve been offered a H reg Vitara JLX (?) soft top for £600 (12mths MOT, no
tax).
The car seems to be in good external condition, exept for the soft top
which has quite a few rips.
Can anyone give me some guidance over common faults with these cars and a
fair idea of their value?
Any help is really appreciated.

tyres on??

Check the sills under that plastic covering. Although not strictly MOT,
eventually it will rot out the inners and leave you with no seat belt
mounts, which are.
