  Well, the car has been off the road for about six years.

According to the advert, the cambelt was changed before the car was garaged.

  A Grand Monday: Saab 900i 11 Apr 2016 (News)
  The brake discs and pads have plenty of life left in them and we’re told that everything works – manual sunroof, electric windows, and central locking. The seller says that the exhaust is in good condition and a new, heavy-duty battery was fitted last year. The tyres also look good, with a new set fitted to the rear recently. So it could justify its £1375 price tag, especially as demand is growing for these cars.

  A Grand Monday: DAF 44 30 Jan 2017 (News)
  This car , currently for sale on Merseyside, clearly isn't ready for the road, but it's a fabulous project. Supplied new by the garage that's selling it (a former DAF dealer) in 1974 - the penultimate year of 44 production before DAF cars were absorbed into the Volvo empire - it was bought back by the vendor in the mid-1990s and has spent the past 20 years languishing in a garage building.  As such, it has only covered 50,000 miles from new, and although the Mimosa Yellow paintwork looks a bit flat, there's a good, solid bodyshell beneath it.

  A Grand Monday: Peugeot 405 TD LX Estate 9 Oct 2017 (News)
  Coupled to the fact that it was also terrific to drive and the 405 was a compelling proposition. The good news doesn't end there, either. Thanks to its galvanised bodywork and simple mechanical layout, the 405 has withstood the ravages of time far better than its contemporary rivals. They tend not to rust, and they also tend to keep going.

  DISHONEST JOHN'S GUIDE TO SERVICE SCAMS 6 Oct 2001 (News)
  The Oil Filter Flanker Instead of changing the oil filter at a routine service, tell the fitter to simply give it a good clean over with a rag. It will look like new, the punter won't know any difference and the garage will save 15 minutes obtaining the new filter from stores and fitting it, plus, of course, the cost of the filter.

  If they judder or knock the linkages will need replacing.    The Astravan sells on its good looks and its desirable, car-like driving character over any pretence of huge load carrying capacity. In comparison to its far more practical rivals it’s undeniably compromised, but it remains appealing despite this.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Berlingo 2008-2016 22 Nov 2019 (News)
  When we say robotised it’s more Metal Mickey in its shifts than HAL9000, it jerky enough to ensure you’ll need those bulkheads to stop loads shifting about.   Maintenance  on a  Citroen Berlingo Over time Citroen and all other van manufacturers are pushing servicing schedules ever further, but experts suggests that the Berlingo is worth visiting a garage every 12,000 miles or 12 months for an oil and filter change, any more  potentially leading to damage in the long run. A general service won’t break the bank, being around £100, a larger one about double that, depending on your garage’s labour rate, of course.
