I have a Toyota from 2003 that is due for an MOT next week. I was told after my last MOT that they just about managed to pass it and that it's unlikely to pass again, so I'll likely need a new car. Lots has happened in the past 12 months, and despite me asking family and friends multiple times for help, nobody really helps. They'll tell you what they think you should get, but that's about it.
My dad and brother are also no help, and despite me saying I have a £10k budget, I'm being told to look at cars over my budget; however, I'm not even keen to part with £10k, having worked so hard to save up, and I'm not into having the latest, brand newest car out there. I'm happy with anything that will get me around, so really, I'll be happy to stick with mine as it's also ULEZ compliant.
What would you advise me to do if I were your daughter? Shall I just suck it up and buy a new car for £10k, or shall I go to a mechanic and get the problems fixed and take my car for a MOT in hopes it will pass again?
