Hi guys, picked up my 54 reg CLK270 CDI from a dealer in Shoreham yesterday, good car in all but something makes me think. I found out there was an advisory issued in its last MOT last month. Someone had tried to remove it from the MOT certificate but I saw a small portion of the pink sheet on the staple. Asked abour it and they pulled the record online and told me the advisory was about a near limit rear left tyre(only one for some unknown reason which they replaced by a cheaper non matching thread tyre), chip in the windshield (to be repaired next week) and front brake pads near limit (they replaced those). Also when I asked for an HPI certificate, it showed up with a CAUTION-PLATE CHANGE, which they explained it to have to do with the car having had a private number at some stage. Anyone cares to share his/her opinion on this with me please? Am I worried unduely?
