Hello,
For this I really kick myself, I bought my discovery last week a 1992 K 200 tdi, just to tow things around with, both my son's loved it so I couldn't leave it there could I?....
It's as rusty as hell!
The boot floor is awful, front inner wings not too bad but have got some corrosion.
Other than that it runs well (165000 on the clock) and it appears to have had quite a few parts changed over the years.
Anyway,the car did not have the advisory notice for the MOT (surprise) so I checked this on VOSA, it mentions severe corrosion rear end etc, and "Sales car undersealed", no wonder he "lost" it.
The large chassis mounts under the extreme rear end have been undersealed and look to be welded is that BAD?!!!!
Have I bought a heap of **** or can we get a car out of it?
If your wondering why I didn't check it over completely I really didn't expect that kind of corrosion on a 1990's car, like going back to the 1970's.It does have an MOT, it cost £1700.
What do you think?
