Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution; this 1988 Dacia 1310 TX is a classic project car that requires significant structural attention. Do not consider this as a reliable daily driver, but rather as a restoration candidate for a dedicated enthusiast.

When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus must be the structural integrity of the chassis. The 2023 MOT failure specifically identified severe corrosion in the inner suspension mounting area, and the 2024 pass still noted ongoing corrosion on the offside sill. You should have a specialist inspect the underside on a ramp to determine if these are surface issues or deep-seated rot that requires extensive welding.

Beyond the structural concerns, verify the condition of the braking system. The 2023 failure highlighted binding brakes and imbalance, which can be symptomatic of long periods of inactivity. Ensure you have a comprehensive history file; if the car has been sitting for long periods, expect to replace all rubber components, including hoses and seals, as these perish over time.
