MOT history - corrosion as advisories
Discussion
been doing a lot of MOT history checks recently ahead of a shed purchase and I've got a bit obsessed. I'm literally canning any car with anything on the advisory list in the past 2 years beyond tyre and pad wear. and any mention of mild corrosion to sills etc as advisories.
Am I being to strict? any ghost stories? I'm aware mild corrosion will turn to rot if untreated but if something has been addressed is it a safe buy?

my car i bought thought i didn't have rust but i do inside rear doors, nothing structural. maybe if i had noticed it might have put me off, but had a look nothing structural and a few hundred quid would sort it. yes rust is going to more likely on older cars but depends where it is to decide if you don;t want the car.
For a grand lets be honest beggars can't be choosers, the cars are near end of life, so just get something that is the best that you find.
