I Bought A Car With 'No Keys' FROM BRADFORD! It Didn't End Well!!

Brave or foolish? I bought a Mini Paceman from Bradford which didn't have any keys. Our seller had inherited it from an uncle who had passed away and apparently they couldn't find the keys but did have the logbook. I knew I could source a key relatively inexpensively and thought however this ended up, it would make some good content for you all!

The worst part of that car isn't the engine, you can bolt another one in, its the rat crap. That's the smell in the interior and the damaged seats cause. The wiring loom will be hell to sort out, loads of stuff wont work, (hence fuse box lid off) and frankly the things a bio hazard to anyone working on it.

@@TheJbsportstech I don't think it's possible to be only 25 ish k on the same oil, which is what it apparently is according to the history. It's probably on an 18k service interval... The time won't help, but that looks more like well above that amount - what ford says is correct, people clock every year before the test (or get the tester to write incorrect mileages)

I used to work at a ford dealer during the late 80's, a ford escort mark iv diesel came in for engine issues under warranty. however the owner was a sales rep and hadn't got it serviced after the free 1,500 mile check up. when the mechanic took the sump off whilst car on the ramp he showed me the contents and scooped it out with his hand. I can only describe it as thick black Swarfega ! it had done about 30,000 miles without a service. needless to say customer wasn't happy that Ford rejected the warranty claim for a new engine

About 40 years ago I helped put an engine in a Chevy P/U that had gone about 40 k miles without an oil change. V8 gas. Probably a 350 or 305. Dealer pulled the valve covers, saw the sludge and said "nope". This was in the US. And the oils then were not as good as they are today.

Got my car recently from Bradford (I'm from Liverpool), (I should mention this is my first car) the clutch went within 2 weeks, the gearbox bearings needed replacing and my boot latch broke after a few days, tire seem to be run flats on the driver's side front which looks like its already been repaired (didn't notice this) and the front tires are cracked but legal. Just got the oil and filter changed as it was black. Took this as a lesson and gained some experience from local mechanics for the future

I worked in Taxi insurance in 2016. At the time there was (and probably still is!) a crisis in Bradford where all their taxi drivers seemed to keep crashing in to each other. So much so, we couldn’t insure most for less than £6k a year, and that was a driver with clean history. Our broker decided to stop quoting them all together as they were deemed too high a risk. Have always been wary of cars from Bradford since that lol
