    It's low mileage, has sat on the drive as my in laws didn't need two cars and decided to SORN it.
    So it has sat for 8 years without moving in the open air, not in a garage? In that case, I would be looking for corrosion as well as all the other things. I always like to think of cars being rescued rather than scrapped, but if you find body rot on top of everything else, it's not worth spending any time or money on.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.
