Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution unless you are a mechanic willing to undertake significant structural repairs. While the mileage is relatively low, the MOT history reveals serious structural corrosion and recurring neglect that suggest poor long-term maintenance.
The primary concern for this vehicle is the state of the chassis. The 2025 MOT recorded a dangerous failure for structural corrosion on the inner and outer sills, and the 2026 advisory notes a corroded rear sub-frame. You must have a specialist perform a thorough underside inspection to determine if the rust is surface-level or structural, as this will dictate the car's future viability.
Beyond the rust, check for a consistent service history. The car has a long history of perished ball joint boots and deteriorated brake hoses, suggesting that rubber components are not replaced until they fail. Negotiate based on the impending oil leak mentioned in the latest MOT and the damaged seat belt buckle, both of which indicate the car has not been maintained with a high level of attention to detail.
