Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution or avoid this vehicle unless looking for a project. While the price is likely low, the MOT history shows escalating structural corrosion and recurring mechanical failures that suggest a costly investment for the average buyer.
The primary concern for this vehicle is its structural integrity. The MOT record consistently notes corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, as well as the inner sills. While these were marked as 'not seriously weakened' in recent years, the frequency of these advisories suggests rust is progressing. You must have a professional structural inspection performed to determine if the chassis is becoming unsafe or un-.
Mechanically, pay close attention to the braking and steering systems. The car has failed on corroded brake hoses, inadequate brake effort, and worn track rod ends. Check for a full service history to ensure the recurring oil leak mentioned in the last three tests has been monitored or repaired. If there is no evidence of recent welding or structural repair, the cost to bring this car up to standard could quickly exceed the car's market value.
