I have found two examples that fit the bill, one has no pictures at present and picture are not going to added until it has been MOT'd.

The other one ticks all of the boxes but when I carried out a MOT check corrosion of the rear subframe was brought up as an advisory 2 years ago but hasn't been mentioned since - should I leave well alone??
Its worth looking at it to see how bad the corrosion is. Maybe it hasn’t been mentioned since because it has been fixed? Or it went for MOT’s at another garage since sub frame was mentioned? Hard to say, but you could have a look & take a glance underneath.

Corrosion isn’t unheard of, especially if it has been used off road & mud etc has accumulated when it should have been washed properly.
