MOT people came back with a full price for getting it through it’s MOT: ?606.00. They also let me know that the CV Joints are wearing and will need replacement soonish. That’ll be another ?300 ish…

So clearly it’s not worth keeping the Rover. The question is now “can we pay for another car whilst keeping the Micra?” and I’m pretty sure the answer is no if we want to have the extension (we do!).

Looking at the market, our situation and the money we have to spend, the candidates are either a Nissan Almera or a Toyota Corolla.
