Approved Used - where you pay a premium for a main dealer provenanced car, that has been subjected to a comprehensive mutipoint check.
As mentioned on a recent thread, a close friend of mine collected his £28,000 BMW 530d Estate as an Approved Used, with 7000 miles on the clock.
Long story short - nearside front tyre 1mm tread depth, yes 1mm, discovered on his drive after 2 days.
A subsequent discussion with the very apologetic salesman has led to them offering to have the car back tomorrow to fit four new tyres.
It appears there is a service sheet that shows 5mm, 5mm front and 4mm, 4mm rear (it's only done 7000 miles) and the salesman's view is that there had been an unexplained wheel swap between my friend securing the car and him collecting it.
It's upset him, because he was soaking up the BMW experience, including his new car presented on a revolving turntable when he arrived to collect it.
