Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless a thorough inspection is performed. While the mileage is low, the MOT history shows a persistent pattern of escalating corrosion that requires immediate attention to ensure structural integrity.
The primary concern for this vehicle is rust. The MOT history consistently flags corroded rear rear brake pipes, suspension arm brackets, and coil springs. You must have a professional perform an underside inspection to determine if the sills and suspension mounting points mentioned in the 2020 and 2021 advisories have progressed from surface rust to structural failure.
Check the service history meticulously to ensure the 1.3L engine has been maintained regularly, as low-mileage cars often suffer from infrequent oil changes. Look for signs of recent repairs to the exhaust system, which showed leaks in 2019 and 2020, and ensure the shock absorbers have been replaced as they have been leaking for years.
