Looking at a ford escort for £300, what to look for?

[Phunk]

A friend of a friend of a friend has told me of a Ford Escort for sale for £300, 12 months mot, T plate Escort 1.6 Finesse with 106k miles.

Is there anything I should look out for on these?

Thanks

12 months tax, so you can cash it when something worth more than £300 goes pop. How long after is down to luck at that price

rust, everywhere. check for it. but as above, its got 12 months tax/MOT so probably not too much to worry about.

4 wheels, and a seat.

Check the clutch probably looking at £300 to replace

as above, its a £300 car, so if it lasts a month you've done well.
