1995 Vento 1800
My daughter took her car in for a cambelt change & MOT the cambelt job found the Carb Rubber mount needed changing & was done then it failed MOT bigtime. Cost so far £240 list of fails include CAT, Rear shocks. Rust in sill, rear shock mount & somewhere awkward (not sure where) corroded brake pipes & some other stuff estimate including original repair & MOT £760. car doesn't look bad runs well sunroof doesn't work - question is would you spend the money? Daughter needs car, likes Vento huge boot space very useful, with 2 kids stuff pushchairs etc.

bin it mate and go up the car auctions anything with a 1600 or bigger is going cheap cheap everyone is bidding on all the city cars,plus you will get about 200 to 250 scrap for the vento

Well in the end my daughter decided to get it fixed, she borrowed our MK2 golf Driver & really missed the 4 doors & the huge Boot in the Vento so it lives again with a new MOT & a few advisories will need a couple of tyres in the next month or so. We don't talk about the dead sunroof.
