Hi,
I have never owned a renault but looking at the above, 130k on the clock cambelt done at 90k nearly full service history 1 owner 4 news tyres 2 key cards pretty much spotless inside and out 3months warranty £1000.

Hi all, my work circumstances are due to change and I’ve therefore opted to re-join the company car scheme as I’ll be doing around 30k miles a year just to my local office (could be around 38k plus private mileage). My dilemma is what action to take until the company car arrives.
