VERDICT

Buying a pre-owned Eccles from 2008 looks pretty much trouble-free – most owners have found them relatively free of faults over the years. The excellent spec includes an alarm. Interiors are still modern, considering their age, and you get lots of storage. This Topaz was incredible value – it was in first-class condition and the soft furnishings were like new. All in all, the Eccles is well worth considering.
