Well I've just driven the car from Lincolnshire to Hertfordshire, and its quiet apparent there are issues.
1) The wheel alignment is out, it pulls left slightly and the straight ahead position on the steering is out.
2) The drivers window got stuck trying to close it, but seems ok now.
3) Loads of cosmetic issues.
Only other weird thing, it does not have a conventional torque converter auto box but has one of those CVT Boxes. The box has a slight judder at low RPM, but once on the move its fine. However it does seem odd when you plant your foot on the floor, the revs rise to 4K and stay there as the speed increases at quiet a pace. Box will take some getting used to whilst I work out if the car is worth sorting.
The low RPM judder from the box is the most concerning issue, could be lack of use perhaps as the car has only done 4000 miles over the recent MOTs.
