Morning all,
We have decided we want to downsize the wife's car to something that doesn't cost much to keep on the road.
I've narrowed it down to a Citigo/Up/Mii.
Our car is a 62plate N-tec+.
It has 55,500 on clock
Full service history and serviced end of Aug
12 Months MOT
Matching AVON ZX7 all round, 2 brand new last month
One car I've looked at is this one

They have agreed in principle to do a straight swap of cars.
Our car is in good nick for its its age however brakes will need sorting soon, it was picked up there is slight oil weep coming from turbo and being 7 year old the suspension is starting to feel a little tired. In general I think the car is going to need a bit of money spending on it which since owning from 2013 it's cost nothing other than service, tyres and another set of brakes.
We have a Skoda Superb estate as the family car and as the kids are getting a little older We don't need to drag everything around.
I like the idea of paying £20 a year tax, £100 less to insure and being a petrol should be less expensive things to go wrong.
So motors am I looking at a fair deal here?
Thanks
