I would be exercising caution with this car. Whilst it has a clean MOT, here are the advisories from 2018.
- inner and outer sills corroded front to rear
- under flooring corroding
- brake and suspension components heavily corroded
- fuel filter corroded
- both front tyres wearing on inner edges

The last 2 are not of any concern but the first 3 most certainly are. If it's been a wire brush job, lick of rust killer and a coat of underseal, then that's a lot of stored up trouble.
I'd want to see bills, remedial actions and a damned good underbody poke round by a bodywork professional. Buyer beware I think in this case. All that glistens isn't necessarily gold.

Regards
John
