Does this sound okay?

Sounds like a rusty A/C compressor clutch but very hard to tell on a recorded video. Viewing is highly recommended if you’re still interested after seeing the MOT history

It's running well from the exhaust note and if you use the sound of the back as a reference then agree there are some dry bearings. Either one of the pullys or compressor. Pullys are cheap as chips, compressor budget £250 to £300. You do need to go and see though!

The car was involved in a side impact but was repaired to a good standard. Came from the same dealer as mine in Ottershaw, Surrey.

I've been told it's a cat D so I'm guessing it can't have been too bad a bump?

Both near side doors, rear most, central pillar, and cills. Most of the hit was central.

Looking at the picture I'm surprised that was only a Cat D rather than a cat C .

Re MOT history..


Are the front struts still available if they need replacing?

Also, it does mention the structural condition and I see there is some rust on the one side lower wheel arch, but he's said this will be repaired before sale, including fixing a coolant leak on the engine. I am surprised its so rusty there seeing that the structural issues must have been repaired for its last mot in 2021 .

And back to my original question, he's going to fit new belt and pulleys/bearings.

Shop has both front and rear struts in stock Gaz
