1996 Corsa Montana 1.4 80,000 miles

Hi all. No.1 daughter and her boyfriend came home with her "pretty red
Corsa" that they bought today. First impressions seem OK but is there
anything in particular I should be looking out for when I get a chance to
give it a once over?

TIA

A bit more information would be helpfull. Like engine. age. body type.
(example: 5 door models have a tendency to start cracking around the 'B'
pillar.)

Woops-scratch some of that, just me being a silly arse

CV boots - handbrake cables - corroded discs - cambelts - water pumps -
radiator fan switch seals - rear seat catches. Nothing exciting, bread and
butter motoring.

 

Thanks Mike, the B pilllar is the one in the middle with the rear door
hinges on it yeah?

Thanks mark, a few things to look at there. I'm not expecting too much
wrong, it's from a close friend of the daughter and it's been in their
family from new and, up until last year, serviced at Vauxhall ))

thanks again

Thats the one. The weight of the rear door can cause cracking on some cars.
