Mike Brewer from Wheeler Dealers Discloses the 'Worst Car He Ever Owned' Which Cost Him Hundreds Due to MOT Failure
TV presenter Mike Brewer, known for hosting the show Wheeler Dealers, recently revealed the worst car he’s ever had to deal with on the show. Brewer blamed recording schedules for the need to purchase the vehicle, a Suzuki SJ410 4x4, which turned out to be a costly choice. The car appeared in a series two episode where the Wheeler Dealers team bought the 1986 Suzuki for a conversion project. Despite the team’s efforts, including installing a new engine and other parts, the car ultimately failed an MOT test. This failure was due to faulty welding, rendering the car unsafe and essentially worthless. The team eventually chose to sell the car to an off-roading enthusiast for less than their initial investment, resulting in a substantial loss. Brewer went on to discuss other memorable cars from his time on Wheeler Dealers, including a favorite he regretted selling, a sixties Mustang. Brewer also mentioned his upcoming projects and the show’s future.
In coming episodes, the show plans to continue introducing viewers to the challenges and rewards in restoring classic cars, teaching them about car repairs and modifications.
