Our Verdict

Proceed with caution. While the mileage is relatively low for the age of the car, a persistent history of corrosion and recurring mechanical neglect suggests it may require ongoing investment to remain reliable.

Your primary focus must be a thorough inspection of the chassis. The MOT history shows a long-standing issue with brake pipe corrosion dating back to 2010; ensure these have been replaced rather than just treated. Check for the 'grease on hoses' mentioned in past advisories, which often indicates an attempt to hide leaks rather than fix them.

Check the service history specifically for timing belt changes, as these are critical for the 1.2L engine. Given the car's age and low mileage, rubber components like bushes, hoses, and tyres may be perished regardless of distance driven. Inspect the parking brake operation and the steering column for any knocks or play, as these have been noted points of failure in the past.
