Description
Hi everyone,
Regrettably, I will have to depart with my Uno. It is a 1993 white Uno, 5 doors basic spec. This car is really the essence. It is very low mileage (around 61k) and it is in good condition. I bought it around 2010 with around 45k miles but it wasn't well looked after up until then. I've used it until 2014 (or was it 2013?) as my daily until the gearbox broke. I've then replaced the gearbox with a more modern one from the Punto, which also required different driveshafts, starter (so I thought!), flywheel and I've fitted a new clutch. This was done with the car SORN and I've left it on my drive. Since then, I would regularly start the engine and did some additional jobs:
- Brake lines all done
- Master cylinder replaced
- Engine sump replaced
Then in May 2024, I've put it on the road for year as I was down one car, having driven it as my daily car, for a few thousand miles. During this period, I had replaced the front disks brakes and pads, driver's side ball joint , the idle control valve and alternator bearings.
Short MOT but it is ok - it is currently MOTed up until May 2026, so all you need to do is to tax and insure it to drive away.
Good things:
- Low mileage
- Very economical
- Cheap maintenance - parts and so simple to do any job
- To my understanding, no rust in the chassis
- Roof lining and most of the interior trims (no cracks or damaged plastics)
- Partial service history (up to 45k), then I've done the annual maintenance myself.
- It will come with roof racks
Not so good things:
- Slight wear in the driver's piping and one cut in the rear seat (you can't see it with the parcel shelf on)
- Parcel shelf pilling is just falling off
- Seats could do with a vax (driver's seat very clean though)
- Paint is ok, but no show room condition - starting to show some bubbles around the rear wheel arch.
- Near side doors: the lower corners are starting to show some brown - I suspect it is starting to rust.
Cambelt will be done for the new owner to drive it away.
Apologies for the bad pictures.
I would really like it to go to a good homeThere aren't many left, this is such a cool car and perfectly capable of being your daily driver.
Additionally, this car is really cheap to own.
