Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution or avoid. While the mileage is low, the recurring and severe structural corrosion in the sills makes this a high-risk investment.

Your primary focus must be a professional structural inspection. This vehicle has failed its MOT multiple times for 'excessive corrosion significantly reducing structural strength' in the sills (22022, 2024, and 2025). These are not merely surface issues but serious welding jobs that are expensive to rectify, often exceeding the value of the car itself.

Check the service history for evidence of how these structural repairs were carried out. Given the car's age and low mileage, ensure the 1.0cc engine has been regularly maintained, as low-mileage cars can suffer from dryness if neglected. Negotiate heavily based on the history of rust and the potential for further MOT-related failures soon.
