What do you think of a 2007 Mercedes-Benz E 220 CDI? I know that the pre facelift W211 had a lot of electrical gremlins and the Sensotronic Brake Control was beyond a joke in terms of reliability, but this was dropped on the facelifted cars.

Is there anything else that I should look out for?

Thinking of purchasing an 09 Ford Mondeo diesel diesel with 184,000km on the clock. Should I be worried about the mileage? Is there a better saloon car that you would recommend for long distance driving?

I have bought a secondhand car but the NCT ran out last month. How do I go about booking an NCT and can I still drive it as it wasn't my fault the car has no NCT?

Hi there, I was thinking of buying a 2009 Toyota Avensis diesel hatchback with 67k miles from the UK. It is the old 2003-2009 shape. Has satnav, don't see any reversing sensors, full Toyota service history. Are they a good car or would you say 2009 version is better?

Thanks,

Walter

In terms of VRT, what are the best value used cars to import (from the UK) in the large family saloon/mid range exec range?

What's the VRT on a 2008 Lexus IS 2.2,  priced £4,000 Sterling?

Hi,

Ford, Renault and Volkswagen all had four-seat hard top coupes, but they all seem to be gone now. Is this a function of product cycle or other factor? Are any of them likely to come back?

Cheers and thanks,

Would a new DS 5 depreciate ruinously?

Hi,

Does a 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0 petrol have a timing chain or belt please? And is 235,000km considered ok on these cars?

Hi lads,

What do you think of the 2005/2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8, especially reliability?
