The buyer admits that the car isn't perfect, but it's pretty tidy for a 34-year old Maestro - a car that wasn't renowned for its rust-resilience even when new. A life spent in London has probaby helped, as the MoT history shows it has only covered 8000 miles in the past decade, very little of which will have been on salty motorways.
