Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the mileage is relatively low for the age, the consistent history of structural corrosion and repeated mechanical failures suggests a vehicle that has suffered from deferred maintenance.
The primary focus for this vehicle must be a thorough structural inspection. The MOT record shows recurring corrosion in critical areas like the rear seat belt anchorages under the underbody sill; if this has progressed beyond surface rust, the car may be fundamentally unsafe. You should also check for rust in the sills and wheel arches, which have been flagged in multiple advisories over the years.
Mechanically, ask for a full service history to see why the engine management light was illuminated in 2022. Given the recent failures of CV boots and imbalanced brakes, ensure that these repairs were actually carried out properly and not just 'patched' to pass the test. Look for any clicking noises when turning (indicating CV joint issues) and ensure the handbrake holds firmly, as rear brake efficiency has been a recurring issue on this specific example.
