The first advisory is just that - making the owner aware.

I see what you mean but as a careful and responsible driver, I find it very surprising that anyone would let their brakes get into such a poor condition that they would fail an MOT. It does make me wonder what other things were neglected that weren’t quite so safety critical.

I usually find that a quick look under the seats and in the spare wheel well give a good insight into the previous owners level of care, that and checking the brand of tyres / brakes fitted...

Turns out, after much questioning that the warranty is a “Marshall group warranty”, which doesn’t appear to be the same as the JLR approved used one, despite their ad saying it is. The sales guy told me I could use anyone who used genuine LR parts to do the warranty work once they get approval from Marshalls. Now call me cynical but that kind of scenario fills me with so much dread and uncertainty that they would just refuse.

I came across the same sort of warranty when I was looking . IMO it seemed like the car had to go to a Marshalls garage and like you there was not one near to me overfinch modified |

There's a big difference between an approved used warranty and a warranty from a dealership. Yes they are generally underwritten by the same company but you get JLR support with the approved used and do not on any other used warranty. __

That was my thought exactly and the fact they were so vague about it put me off. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

No alan I didn't buy it, I did buy it from an independent dealer who sold it with a six-month warranty probably worth nothing but did not need anyway and the car now has no warranty.
