16 year old car with no service history
Hello, I viewed a 2009 Mini Cooper today that I've been thinking of buying. I took it for a test drive and eveything seems okay and it drove nicely. My only concern is that there's no evidence of any service history. I asked the seller (private seller) about this and they said they didnt know where it was and hadn't been serviced in the time they had it (about 3 years).
The seller has already reduced the price to £1100 for me due to it being an old car anyway, it was originally selling for £1400. Once I found out there was no service history, I offered to buy the car for a further discounted price around £900 because of the lack of service history but she was pretty adamant sticking to £1100.
What should I do? Everyone I've spoken to about this has said it's risky but I really like the car.
