Hi all,
I'm scouting around for a 1.4 petrol for when my youngest lad learns to drive...
I've come across one on autotrader that, on the face if it looks good, but it has a history of mot failure on high CO after 2nd fast idle (2014, 2015, 2019 and 2020!). The 2019 fail includes lambda reading out of limits too.
The seller claims it has a reconditioned cat, whatever that actually means!!
It's only done 80,000 miles, 2002 model.
Just wanting to canvas thoughts here from those in the know as to whether there might be a common cause or inherent problem...
There are plenty of other mot failures shown too, so it may not be the best looked after of cars!!
