Image only appraisal on vehicles over 10yrs

[MarkTVS 209]

I’m sure many of you have seen this on BCA where it’s graded but no inspection report as it is over ten years old, but how do they work this? I have seen cars that are a few months off ten years going by their date of first registration?

as with anything bca there a law to themselves.

The wallies that work there go off reg letters , or simply guess . 

there's no science to it , just designed to cut work out so its cheaper .

Seen them listed under 10 years with no picture grading .

Ok I’m confused with this too. Just bought this Audi TT for £4900 plus fees and delivery from BCA.

Everything was going way over book.  This capped at £5300. Grade 4 no condition report. No mechanical report. Just said engine smoking / rough running on the screen.

this car in my eyes is mechanically perfect, the bodywork is grade 1/2 - it drives like a dream, it has 11 stamps..... yes 11..... and only 2 owners. bridgestone tyres all round with 5mm tread on all of them and been meticulously looked after.

thank you very much, Best Buy of the the day by miles.

USED AUDI TT 1984 - 2011
 

Does that mean it was born in 1984 and died in 2011?
