Hi
I'm new here and as I'm a woman and don't know anyone that knows about cars ,
I bought this car yesterday because I owned one before and loved it ,
I'm worried as I think the seller thought "blonde bimbo I'll take advantage" because I hadnt even drove it before he quickly said he had to leave ,
It wasn't long driving it that to me sounds like when the wheel bearing goes (I owned a renualt Megane 1.9 DCI and the drivers side went and it was LOUD) ,
Having looked at the M.O.T history I'm confused as it says it failed the first time 11.01.2017
Failed Reason :
*Offside Front track rod end ball joint has excessive play"
And
*Offside Front mcpherson strut corroded and seriously weakened top mounting .
And Advisories Were :
*Nearside front mcpherson strut corroded but not ser8usky weakened strut mounting ,
*Offside Front anti roll bar linkage has slight play in a ball joint
Then he put it through again it passed 18.01.2017 but the advisory says :
*Offside Front anti roll bar linkage slight play in a ball joint"
This is why I'm confused as it says the same on a "Fail" as it does on an "Advisory" ??
What things would he have had to fix for the M.O.T to go through ,
I'm worried about the expense it's going to cost me ,
Is it loud growling like metal to metal if it's the ball joint or do do you think the wheel bearing has gone ?
I'm sorry in advance if im rambling I'm just worried as the steering didn't seem perfect either , I've not driven it today
Any help I'd appreciate it
