The MOT that will come with this wreck will be as fraudulent as the MOT that came
with the Cadillac we were mis-sold as being roadworthy when it had been driven into
the ground by an owner who lived on one of the biggest gypsy encampments in the country.
Any car that http://www.yorkshirecarcentre.co.uk/ sells has to be looked at dubiously, they are crooks who cheat decent people out of money for cars that are not fit for the road, no matter what their back-street lawyers at LawGisitics might say
