• Oil leak, but not excessive (8.4.1 (a) (i))
• Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but
not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (li))

58 Corsa, £5-600, no worries about those.......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
You could call a garage and get a quote for discs and pads, and new shocks. Not saying they need do now, but in the near future. Also check the front of the bonnet for rust, I believe it was a problem on Corsa’s around that time.0
