Looking on the usual auction sites for one and just looking to see if anyone has anything positive or negative to say about them.

Also what kind of things do I need to be looking out for with them been second hand is there any common faults out there with them.

Cheers
 
Don't go near them - they are awful and constantly failing

Two guys I know have had to send them back three times within a 1 year period

Common faults are the gearing and the power connections from the battery
 
Iv'e got one and they do have faults, the axles snap, the display fogs up in the rain, the gearing means you can never seem to get them to go at walking pace, my walking pace (and many others it seems) is between numbers 6 and 7 but there's a fair difference between them so I'm either running after it or walking into it. I'd recommend going for the Freeway Sport if you want one, they have twisty knobs rather than the push button speed controller, much better.
 
In my opinion if you want a powakaddy go for the older version,thing to watch for though is whinning from the motor /gearbox and look at the frame to see if it is still tight as when they wear they flop about when you put your bag on it.
