One slower driver

I wonder if you can give me your opinion on ex-Motability cars in general and on the Ford Fusion in particular. I am considering buying a used one for my (active) wife and her dog.

www.british-car-auctions.co.uk has Motability auctions at Blackbushe every Friday; other auction centres too. The cars can be very good but beware those with very low mileage as they will have damage that low mileage use causes, like rusted in spark plugs on Ford Fiestas, Fusions and Focus, excess power steering wear, condensation damage, rusted discs, etc. The BCA site now offers its Auctionview service free of charge to enable you to find out which cars are coming up at which auctions and save wasted journeys.
