Default Vehicle inspection companies.

Can anyone recommend a vehicle inspection company to inspect a Mondeo ST24 I looked at today ??

The main companies seem to be AA and RAC but there are loads of others. Anyone have any experience good or bad ? was it worth it ?

Failing that any Mondeo ST24 experts living in the Bracknell area that can spare me a couple of hours ?? I will cover travel costs and pay for your time !!

cheers

ST24' dont have any big problems if they have been looked after. replace the water pump with a metal one, check for blown head gasket, and rust on the sill,rear1/4 around the petrol flap thats about it

I have has a few st24 asd st200 and never had a problem with them

also you can pick up st200 for not a lot more than a st24

if you went for a 200 also check the lower arms for play as they are about £150 each

this one was really tidy, no rust anywhere that I could see. Just the possible IMRC problem and an oil leak, maybe the PAS pump....
