If you don't get it fixed then who would buy it? Also sounds like rear brakes need attention. The car is more than 10 years old so you must expect to spend some money on maintenance. When was it last serviced and were thare any MoT advisories at the last test?

 

As a ten year old Piccanto owner I would ask what is the milage and has it a service history , at a dealer? Clutches do wear out but have never had one before 100,000 miles and that was after teaching three children to drive in it. If it is only the clutch I would have it repaired . The rear brakes squealing, I hope you have not let the pads wear away to rub n the disk? I presume you have current MOT. They are simple repairs - to me anyway. I would keep it if the miles are reasonable ,mine is 46,000 and I've had it from new with only problem an ABS sensor rear OS. As it is it is a scrapper really and you will get virtually nothing for it.

 

Hi Henry
Yes my car has service history and it had an mot in September with no advisories. It only has 30,000 on the clock, so it is low mileage. I've had a new clutch fitted now, so all good fingers crossed.Thank you for your advice, take care. Gail

 

£285 is a good price for fixing the clutch. Just get a specification of what is going to be replaced to ensure that the necessary new parts will be installed.
Post and ask here if you are not sure what a clutch repair workshop is offering.

Whatever the squealing is, brake parts are cheap. Any replacement vehicle you would buy most likely would not come with a garantee on the brake consumable parts so you may as well get your vehicle fixed.

For those 2 expenditures there is a good chance you will have a car at least as reliable as a similarly aged replacement.
Can I ask Gail, why were the springs replaced?

 

Hi Jack,
Thank you for your response. I've had a new clutch fitted now. We had new springs fitted because one was fractured. Thank you. Take care. Gail
