knottyham Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi,I've been looking to get a lupo/arosa for my first car. I've seen a nice arosa (t reg) within my budget and it's pretty much exactly what I want.However, is a t reg what people would consider old (as in too old and not worth bothering with)?Reason I am asking is because with a lot of other smaller, older cars, I feel that a t reg is really too old as a lot of cars of this age seem to either be rust buckets or extremely high mileage. This arosa has 78k ish miles and 8 months tax and mot.I just thought i'd ask the experts! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMabey Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm no expert, but I would say as long as the mileage isn't super high then it should be ok. Obviously check for rust but if it hasn't and it's only on 78k miles go for it. Just check there's no biggies on the MOT advisory haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knottyham Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks,I'm trying to do all of my research before I buy are there any specific areas which seem to be prone to rust on arosas? I know the likes of a ford ka seem to rust on the sills/petrol cap/floor plan...Thanks again,. Edited February 4, 2014 by knottyham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
