Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution unless you are a dedicated classic car enthusiast prepared for structural restoration. While the low mileage is attractive, the extensive MOT history reveals persistent structural corrosion and suspension issues that make it a risky investment for a daily driver.
When inspecting this vehicle, your primary focus must be the chassis and structure. The MOT history repeatedly notes corrosion on the inner and outer sills and suspension spring mounting areas. Use a torch and a thin metal probe to check if the rust is surface deep or structural, as structural repairs are costly and complex for this model. Additionally, check the rear suspension springs, which have been noted as corroded for several years.
Examine the braking and exhaust systems thoroughly. The data shows a history of binding brakes and multiple minor exhaust leaks. Ensure the exhaust has been replaced recently or that the leak isn't just masked by a coating. Given the age and mileage, ask for a comprehensive service history to ensure the 1.3-litre engine has been regularly maintained, as low-mileage cars often suffer from neglected intervals.
