At least one of those tyres looks fooked to me, not trusting my life to cracked old rubber. That wheelarch is rotted through, that's not really "a small rust patch". MOT history shows it's been stood for much of its life, only 10k miles in the last 13 years. Some of the fail->pass looks like a pretty lenient testing station to me, might get a nasty shock if you took it to a strict one. Caveat emptor, as always. it's £200 with an MOT. Dafuq do you expect?! 15 mins with some wob, shove a part-worn on and it'll likely be ok at least until it's ticket is up. I didn't think the rust looked that bad actually. Certainly seen a shit-tonne worse on a £200 car. Burnside, Jamie, Split_Pin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angle Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Strong chance it needs a tyre, or some welding, or it's full of spiders, but one of the prettiest convertibles of the last 30 years with 2 months MOT.

busmansholiday Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I've had one, boot floors, sub frame, they like to rot. MoT tester gave up at 10 failures on mine, and that was just the rust. They are so small (and fun), any corrosion is within 30cm of something important. You'll be able to buy it at Curry's for the same price by Xmas, but more usefully as a fridge!

I think half the issue is that the number of places that will take a car for actual scrap metal is now quite limited due to de-pollution rules etc, so breakers yards offer quite a bit less than weigh-in value.

Car take back. At least until they do a we buy any car and get realistic about what they pay. At the moment its a sellers paradise.

Talbot Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Car take back must be doing something other than scrapping what they buy then, as their offer prices are definitely higher than scrap value. Maybe there's a big export market at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chodweaver Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Is scrap on its arse again?I'd say quite the opposite, judging by the number of different rusty Transit tipper 'operations' that frequent my road each day of the week, with their megaphones and indecipherable bellowing.

Some prime vehicles of interest to these parts will surely be up for sale soon... LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
