Unfortunately that's generally not the case, and where it is you might save £50... It's generally not worth doing anymore from what I've seen. Well, thank you for letting me know. Parts do fail due to wear and tear on cars, unless it's near new you'll struggle to get something that's never had things replaced. The battery in my car had to be replaced along with a few other parts and it's 2 and a bit years old and done 30K miles so just because a part's been replaced doesn't mean it's a bad car, and odds are if you're looking for a cheap first car most of the car will have been replaced, at least they're honest about it (And generally having new parts is a selling point) Okay.

This is the advice my dad has given me even though I'm only 14. My mum also recommends to do pass plus as it's a way to practise for safer driving. You also get a lower insurance price. Unfortunately that's generally not the case, and where it is you might save £50... It's generally not worth doing anymore from what I've seen. The issue with it is that it has had a clutch replacement, but the seller hasn't stated why. It's not worth asking either. Since the clutch has been replaced I personally wouldn't buy that car.

If the car is around the 60-100k mark, i'd say a clutch being replaced is a good thing (you don't want to have to pay to do that yourself)
