ask for a drive or to be driven, check the breaks too.

Id only get a mk1 if it had been mot'd in the last month or two.

Check tryres (the tread) spare tyres, look at the engine, check to see if the engine idles ok, min sounds like a f**king tin can but meh it works allrite (mine is a mk2 btw)

general wear and tare, just dont expect it to be perfect.

Suspension, check that s**t too.

yeah there was a willy 1 on pistonheads for about 8K lol, its there on the 1st page, go look.


You could try the parker giude, google parker giude and itll give you a roug evaluation of the car, respecting that itll be on average mileage and assuming its on good condition.
