Thinking of looking at an Astra VXR - MOT issue

[CrippsCorner]

Hi guys, I've already test drove one VXR (dud) and phoned about another which was sold in less than 24 hours... on to no.3 and it looks okay other than Play in steering rack inner joint(s) as an MOT advisory.

Just wondering could this be a potential disaster? I've had many cars with track rod type problems before and a couple of hundred quid later they're perfect. I don't mind going into a car that's a good deal knowing I have to spend a bit to sort it, but if it's actually a sign of the steering rack deteriorating I'm sure that could be a bigger price!

Appreciate any feedback.
