Oh and of course the air - con doesn't work.

Parts of the exhaust system generally are showing signs of corrosion.

The nearside front anti roll bar drop link upper balljoint exhibits a small degree of wear.

The nearside headlamp aim is on the upper limit and the offside headlamp aim is on the lower limit.

The offside front tyre is worn on the inner edge and the tyre would appear to be approaching the limit of its service life.

The sweep of the offside wiper is poor to the offside of the windscreen and merits possible attention.

There are some minor stonechips in the windscreen but not of significant magnitude to impair vision through it.
