So I’m thinking of buying a car for my partner but it has these advisories 🤔 but wondering if it’s worth it.  

• 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))

• both rear shocker covers missing and bump
stops deteriated

    58 Corsa, £5-600, no worries about those.

    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.
