Check the VIN before you pay
On record, the VIN ends 50M22.
Engine number on record: 11H7410909
- Find the VIN at the base of the windscreen, on a door pillar and on the V5C. All three should match.
- Meet at the address printed on the V5C, and check the logbook has the DVL watermark.
- Pay by bank transfer or card, never cash, so the payment can be traced.
- If the price looks too good to be true, ask why.
