Our Verdict

Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle presents severe structural integrity risks due to chronic, escalating corrosion that appears to be a fundamental issue for this specific example.

Do not purchase this vehicle without a professional, thorough inspection of the chassis and subframes. The MOT history shows a persistent and worsening trend of 'excessively corroded' structural components, including suspension mountings and sills. Even if the current MOT is valid, the pattern of failures suggests that significant welding or structural repair is required to keep the car roadworthy.

If you are a collector, ensure that any recent repairs have been carried out to a high standard and are not merely superficial patches. Negotiate heavily based on the evident need for structural work, and be prepared for the possibility that the cost of making the car safe may exceed its market value. Check the service history for evidence of any major rust prevention treatments, though the MOT data suggests these have been ineffective.
