I wouldn't worry about it too much,the cars cost you nearly 300 quid so far,so take it for the mot and then you will have a clearer picture of what condition it's in,aleast you will know where you stand with it and what needs doing to it to bring it back up to scratch  :smiley: also imo you will be reasured sooner rather than later that you havnt or have bought a death trap?,I'd be more worried if I bought a car for that price with 12 months ticket.
