    It depends how old it is? The main things are the green part of the log book (new keeper supplement) and the latest MOT... anything else is a bonus :)

    You wont get an MOT then. Make sure you get all service documents

    Make sure you get the full compliment of keys. Some systems require 2 to program the system. The 2nd key can cost hundreds to replace.
