I was going to start a similar thread.

My daughter in law has offered my granddaughter her Mitsubishi Colt 1.1. It is 2010 model which has done 89000

The only advisory is also for Rear Axle corrosion which the garage advised would cost £200.

Obviously, I don't know how the amount of rear axle corrosion on the car you are looking at Des,but it does sound pretty costly. If my daughter in laws car had that many advisories I would steer clear or negotiate on the price

To save starting an unnecessary thread,does anyone have any views on the Colt?

From what I read, it seems to be quite well though off, a bit bland, but reliable and pretty good for a learner
