Hi all - I've been on the lookout for my first A2 for a while, and a couple of weeks ago I was talking to the seller of this car, as It's pretty close to me, but I got put off after a check I did showed up it had been an insurance total loss in 2015.
The loss was a CAT D (repairable damage) which I believe predates the newer, more specific CAT S / N classifications, and I'm wondering whether it might still be worth considering if I could get the price knocked down, maybe to sub £1k? I'd want to get the car looked at anyway, which would presumably highlight any structural concerns, but I'm just interested to hear experience / advice on what impact on price I'd expect to see on a car of this age / milage.
According to the seller, he'd been working on the car as a retirement project since buying it in 2018, which aligns with the MOT history as It hadn't been tested between then and getting an MOT in Jan this year. It also seems to have done over 20k miles since the write-off, mostly before the current owner acquired it.
Of course, It could be academic anyway if the seller doesn't want to budge on the price!
