  Today’s Auction Ups and Downs 12 May 2004 (News)
  We’ll start with the downs. That 02 reg Volvo V70 in the photo is a D5 S manual with alloys, air, CD and 83k unwarranted, but a full service history to a franchised service at 81k, just three weeks ago. No V5, but a good buy for a private man at £10,750. Mondeos have stayed cheap, even without mega miles.

  Bargains and Premiums at Auction Today 17 Oct 2003 (News)
  And the fact that a trader can still turn a profit after paying monster money tells you that the car was still cheaper at auction than it would have been on the open market. Yes, that is a MINI Cooper S in the photo. 2002/52 reg, 6,643 miles, and on the right set of wheels. Bidding started ridiculously low, my pal took it to £14,400 thinking he wouldn’t mind the car for his daughter, but a trader eventually bought it for £15,400.

  VIDEO: Fiat Tipo - review in a few 24 Apr 2017 (News)

  The MoT Files: Bottom 10 Cars from the 2000s 6 May 2014 (News)
  The 2000s may not seem that long ago but our list of the 10 cars most likely to fail the MoT shows that there are plenty of hangovers from the 1990s with models that were only on sale for a short time in the new millennium before being replaced - the Ford Escort being a prime example. As with the rest of our lists we've set a minimum limit of 5000 MoT tests to show a more realistic picture and to eliminate very niche makes and models.
