- ✓Inspect the rear axle, sills and inner arches carefully because rusty Mk2 Kas can look smarter on top than they are underneath.
- ✓The electric steering must feel light and consistent from cold; intermittent heaviness is rarely just a weak battery.
- ✓Run the heater fan through every speed and check the boot floor for damp, because blower-resistor and tailgate-wiring issues are common age-related faults.
