Good bumper protection for car parks or the swmbo reversing into the doctors car park and because she could not see anything dispite the rear parking sensors going off still kept going back until she hits the dwaf barrier

less chance with an auto that things have burnt out or worn when towing than if it was manual

So go for it

Only if it's bent

as said, no probs if it's an Auto

It is what it was made for , work not just school runs.

I tow approx 1500kg with my auto about 25% of the time without any issues, why should there be ??

Good job she hit the ' dwaf ' barrier and not the tardis though or he would be on here moaning !!

if it has done an amount of towing especially high sided wind steered box type 'trailers' then the rear suspension will have taken a beating, If so the the front suspension , drive shafts and engine will also have aged beyond their mileage. Avoid


Also think on that the driver often emptied his caravans chemical portaloo just before climbing in the car and putting his hand all over the cars steering wheel, just something to ponder  At work

Or worse still, could have been owned by a Farmer, up to his knees in no toilet facilities down the field so he will have been p g up the side of it

which reminds me of the time TOP GEAR did forensic sampling on the seats of second hand cars, farmers with mucky hands were the least of the problems  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Did you notice I gave your wheels an extra 'clean' at Halewood, that weak LR coffee ensured I was able to powerwash all the wheels and the drivers door handle  At work
