1993 Blue Metro Quest - in Garage till 2017, 33K miles For Sale

Some rust on the rear blue wheel arches. Used by a lady driver, my mother for local trips and a very rare longer journey. She always kept it in the garage. She had it serviced every year.

There is rust on the upper blue parts of the wheel arches (see sample photos). I had all the arches jet hosed, and went round with a torch and a large mirror, but I can't see any rust in the wheel arches at all. There is also surface rust on the lower part of the driver's door, I have had this looked at by a bodyworks specialist, he confirms it would be easy to spray, without needing a new panel. This is also confirmed by the MOT till end August.

The mileage is actually 32, 928 miles currently.

The handle of the left hand wing mirror has broken off.

I have driven it for the occasional journey, when we were looking after my mother. The mechanics are in good order, the engine is very smooth, no tappets noise, the gearbox, the brakes and steering are also fine. I had the wheels balanced and the steering aligned about 2 years ago.

The tyres look a bit flat in the photo, I pumped them up after I took the photo.

We started this car at a price of £2000, but I have put it down to £1000. It comes with two spare rear panels, both on the driver's side and the passenger's side, which you would need to get a bodywork specialist to fit and spray. That would deal with the rust problem on the rear wheel arches. The quote from the body panel specialist would be £526+VAT for the rear wheel arches, and £150+VAT for the surface rust on the driver's door. These totalled come to £811. 20. We have lived with this rust for years, and have never felt any need to get the rust repaired.

I have found the car very reliable. There is an MOT till the end of August.
