A bit worrying with only a month on MOT to go, I had looked at this already but decided against it for that reason.

Re: MGF in Market Drayton £300 starting price
With the amount of work already done it looks like the car has been well looked after so can't imagine there is a huge amount wrong obviously you'd have to go and have a look.
Why don't you ask them to put it through an MOT, or for the sake of £50 you could even offer to pay for it and look at it as a cheap 'inspection' service which you'd probably pay the AA £150 for...

nothing major there if the price stays low, the sub frames probably just need a clean off & coat of paint, new headlight, wing, brake pads & wipe the brake pipes off with some wire wool.
Then you've got whatever other issues have surfaced throughout the last 12 months, that being said, it still looks like a bargain to me.

Re: MGF in Market Drayton £300 starting price
Only thing is if the sub frame and wing are rusting then there may also be more rust else where...but worth a look and bid at the right price...
