21 April 2021
PASS
View test certificate
Mileage
102,709 miles
MOT test number
7389 9647 0982
Test location
View test location
Expiry date
20 April 2022
Repair as soon as possible (minor defects):
Front Windscreen damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view (3.2 (a) (i))
Nearside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources (4.7.1 (b) (i))
Nearside Headlamp reflector slightly defective (4.1.1 (b) (i))
Offside Headlamp reflector slightly defective (4.1.1 (b) (i))
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
rear bumper cover missing
Nearside Front Brake hose slightly deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))
Offside Brake hose slightly deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))
Nearside Rear Integral body structure or chassis corroded within 30cm of a mounting, but not seriously affecting overall security inner sill (6.2.2 (d) (i))
Offside Rear Integral body structure or chassis corroded within 30cm of a mounting, but not seriously affecting overall security inner sill (6.2.2 (d) (i))
Nearside Rear Integral body structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced outer sill (6.1.1 (c) (i))

So... a bit of neglect, but more worryingly a bit of rust appearing. I'd be a bit surprised if this motor car makes more than £2,000 - probably closer to £1,500.
If memory serves, the seller made a big thing in his listing about how well maintained it was - if he can't even be bothered to ensure all the bulbs were working for the MoT it casts a huge cloud of suspicion over those assertions of maintenance!

With that in mind, £500 tops!
