Does this help? 2013 Auto Bild SUV 4x4 Winter Tyre Test - TyreReviews

My thoughts exactly. If the 3k rpm problem is the only issue then why hasn't the owner MOT'd it? Shame as it was priced right for me. I don't mind something that needs a little work. But only if I know what it needs and therefore have an idea of cost and how long it would take me to do it.

Just a quick update. Have had an email from the seller and the MOT is out, he doesn't say when. The tax is also out and on closer inspection of the pics it looks to have been running out late 2012 in those. Am really not sure about buying a car with a known issue and no MOT. Especially as there...

It's been a while since I've been on here, having had to change to far more economical motoring for a while. Just a quick question regarding a Rangie I am having a look at. The car seems fine except that it won't rev past around 3000rpm. I have had a good search and read around on here so my...
