Buying second-hand

Used-market tip

£250–500 used. Boundary wire integrity is everything — walk every metre. Bosch dock contacts last well, but check the rubber bumper for cracks. Reset the Indego app before purchase. Avoid units stored outdoors year-round.

Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
