Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle unless you are a mechanic looking for a project or a parts donor. The severe structural corrosion and a consistent history of major MOT failures make it a very high-risk purchase for the average buyer.

If you still consider this car, a professional structural inspection is mandatory. The 2022 MOT failure noted 'excessive corrosion' in the B-pillar and sills, which is often terminal for a car of this age. You must verify if these repairs were done properly with professional welding or if the rust is tracking through other areas.

Check the suspension thoroughly; the history shows a constant pattern of worn track rod ends, ball joints, and suspension arms. Ensure the service history is comprehensive, as the MOT records mention a persistent oil leak from the sump that has been noted for years. Negotiate significantly based on the structural rust and the likely expensive repairs required to make the car roadworthy again.
