🤞Looks hopeful - even the Volvo looks intact

Yes. "The warranty policy for Electric & Hybrid Vehicles used for Private Hire and Taxi is 3 years/60,000 miles(whichever occurs sooner)."

Saved by ABS, maybe ? "A tree came crashing down on top of three cars on Manchester Road in Macclesfield amid the chaos"

(y) I know you said that and I confirmed the exact MOT requirements yesterday too - I was just confirming that that specific vehicle is registered as a taxi.

Ouch! But ... "better to have used Tomato and lost than never to have used Tomato at all" though, maybe ;)

So, very low mileage for a taxi - check condition of seats etc. Could be a good buy :)

Well, that took me all of 10s google search... It was a taxi :) Private Hire Vehicle Register PH1856YC 22 ZLZ22/09/202522/09/202531/08/2026 https://licensing.sheffield.gov.uk/1/Vehicle/Search/37/410570 see Public Register Vehicle Search - Private Hire Vehicle

I was musing over the thread about IM5/6 consumption of around 2.8 miles/kWh and wondering if anyone has done a study to find the sweet spot in terms of battery capacity vs. range - or at least a graph plotting the relationship graphically. In other words, are we really gaining much by increase...

🙅‍♀️ It's 6 months after first 12 months. Still unlikely in your case as there are bigger gaps than 6 months in the history.

I once knew an (older) man who liked to get his car MOT'd every 3 months, just to "be safe" o_O

(y) re comments from @tsedge and @Fogey. The main concern with using a regular (rather than EV-rated) 13A plug+socket is that they are not designed for or tested against continual high loads or disconnection of inductive circuits under load. The weak points are:- a) the contact of the live...
