Hi all,
New member, I'm looking to take the plunge into ownership with a 120. I found what I thought was a clean looking example, the advert has a nice picture from underneath showing a (slightly blurred) non-rusted chassis.
I've arrange to go have a look. In the meantime I checked the MOT history and it turns out it's failed on structural corrosion more than once, but then been repaired and passed.
So should I go for it assuming it looks decent in person and assume the repairs are sound, or am I better off looking for something that's had an easier life?
I'm assuming the MOT pass would cover any serious issues, but could there still be lurking rust that will perforate out?
