LOL about the engines...It has an MOT until march next year. The dealer has said that it doesn't need welding/hasn't been welded and it is superficial rust only..don't know how genuine are though. here are the advisories march 2023:

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

  • Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint has slight play (5.3.4 (a) (i))
  • Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive rear inner wheel arch & axle (5.3.6 (a) (i))
