Mrs H's sister, in a welcome fit of generosity, has gifted her '06 Skoda Fabia petrol 60K miles to my youngest. At age 23 he cyces to work and has lost momentum in getting his test. We're going the 50 miles to Halifax later this week to pick it up.
So, 2 questions,
1. What is it going to be like long term do you think? Past MoT's show a consistent failure on bits of the handbrake mechanism, probably down to lack of use. I can deal with those. I think it's one of the ones with dodgy cam chain tensioner issues. Is there an easy way of checking?
2. Although the car has a current MoT, I don't know when the car was used last; what would you take in addition to the breakdown service number, a tyre inflator, a jump-start battery pack and a can of generic easy-start?
Comments welcome as always.
TIA
