Evans halshaw are pretty decent and are thuroigh with their psi's (pre sale inspection) and their pdi's pre delivery inspection so I would have thought as long as the history is there and its serviced and mot'd up you should be ok

No prob mate subtle difference but there is no fq plack in front of the gearstick. One thing I did learn from when buying mine from a non ralliart know all is dealers usually don't have a clue what they are selling and reg checks only say lancer 2.0 usually

Also they tend to take the cars off if they don't sell move them to another if there dealerships and put it back on for a higher price. I know that cause I got a customer of mine who works there etc
