Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£130–200 is realistic used. Steel deck means rust is the killer — flip it and inspect the underside thoroughly. Engine starts can degrade over winter; ask the seller to fire it from cold. The 51cm blade is unusual so spares cost more than 46cm rivals — factor that in.
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.
