[TheMoonchester]

your knowledge is great and thanks for the great tips a very honest car dealer

[mentalmechanic]

He says all this sitting in a Maserati!!!! All joking aside, really enjoy the videos and you absolutely speak sense with all these vehicles. Cheers

[thurmanmerman]

being a car trader myself he is 100 percent right what he is saying.. stay clear

Thank you so much for highlighting the ridiculously bad issues with these cars. There is no excuse for the manufacturers in the last 20 years to have been building such dodgy cars. They just don't care as the maintenance at the dealerships is such a nice big earner for them! As long as they last past the 3 years or so that the company fleets and leasing agents use them for before sending them off to auction then they're happy! It's a racket.

The speedo clock on the Fiat 500 is often unreliable, replacement costing over £500. As far as I know, the manufacturer has done nothing to improve reliability since my own 2015 model, which I was glad to get rid of. The "wet belt syndrome" would seem to be the biggest and most expensive issue, which would seem to be particularly best avoided. So much unreliability in 21st Century cars which did not seem to apply with vehicles of the previous century! Perhaps too much hi-tech is the main problem, though some of the faults are basic yet expensive to rectify!! A very informative video, by a honest dealer who is willing to part with his knowledge. Very much appreciated.

I would love a video, "6 cars that are great to buy"

*I find CAR UK on You Tube to be a VERY reliable channel, hence I subscribe to it.* Up until March of this year I lived next door to a garage, where 4 mechanics serviced and repaired cars of all makes and models (including the various cars I've owned over the years). *Everything which CAR UK says in this video is SPOT-ON and is very much in accord with what the guys at the garage were telling me.*

Because of the advice these mechanics gave me, I *already knew* NOT to buy any car with a 1 litre Eco-boost engine or a 1.2 litre Puretech engine, NOT to buy a Vauxhall Mokka, etc. But not everyone has such a great source of information about used cars on their doorstep, but the good news is we DO have this channel.

Thank you for your time making this video. I respect your honest opinion when it comes to cars as we are not all magpies and some of us do pay attention to the details and on-costs. Car tax can be a killer too so what seems reliable can be quite bad on the old road tax. Its all swings and roundabouts with cars. If youre quite handy and resourceful then you can save some money but many people are not so its worth knowing why you dont sell certain cars.

Drove a SAAB 900 for 20 years and it never failed. Too bad they're no longer in business. Thanks

15 years ago I could buy a say 9yr old car top of the range Peugeot 306 in nice condition for £1000 around 70K mileage. Now prices are completely stupid asking thousands for such old cars; daylight robbery. Even 8 years ago I could get the same thing for £300 on Ebay UK. Motoring is just becoming out of reach for people on minimum wage incomes. How ordinary working class people find the jobs and wages to fund new electric cars I do not know.

[eksebro]

Your list is spot on, especially the fords ecoboost. I refer to them as “ecoturds”

[bogwoppit]

Very generous video, all the cars you mentioned I wouldn't touch with a barge pole .

[stewartlancaster]

I had a petrol X type, bloody fantastic car ! no rusty sills as I looked after it !

[johndunwell]

Enlightening video and advice noted. We have a 2009 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, the concept of which is great (compact 7 seater yet spacious inside and economical), bought over 5 years/70k miles ago (now on 135k miles). I was aware of issues with auto transmissions, so bought manual gearbox 1.6HDi and it's been a wonderful and reliable car.

[BRED]

Great video.

Another engine I’d add to avoid is any Mazda 2.2d Skyactiv, made from 2013 on, they are all Euro 6 so seem a good cheaper option, but they aren’t.

Horrendous engines, they severely carbon up every 20k -50k miles blocking the oil pickup, oil dilution from failed regens, injector issues, injector seal issues, adding to the carbon problems, EGR issues, awful engines.

[rogergriffiths]

Hi Lee, love the channel, super advice every time. Do you think you could do a clip on cars that would be a good buy please. Really appreciate Car UK. 😇

[philipmcardle]

Great video

Next one to do is the best cars to buy

[jonsayce]

It amazes me how many everyday run of the mill cars are poor. You do us a great service by bringing them to our notice, thanks. Perhaps a mirror to this would be a video showing the cars that you would recommend.
