    Mine had a bit of rot here Gareth under the door rubber
    Fortunately it was only one very small area and it is now sorted

    Other areas you can see are the battery tray, sill lips etc, anything else you'll need to buy the car to check as it will be behind bumpers, skirts etc

    You can check the towing eye by removing the little plastic plug thing, also you can kinda see behind the rear bumper.
    Just take your time looking round it and don't assume because low milage it will be fine

    Pretty sure original tyres were Perelli but I may be wrong

    I'm sure some of the other more knowledgeable guys can advise you better than me

    Here's where mine went
