Garaged now, not being used much at all since bought an electric car last year.

Main points to highlight:
Last MOT was on winter tyres - fronts were pretty worn. I have since swapped back to standard GTI wheels with Bridgestone Potenza 225/40/R18 Tyres for the sale but please note all 4 of these are pretty much at the end of their legal lives and need replacing.
There is some corrosion in the sills and along bottom of front doors
Very end of one of the twin pipes has corroded and dropped off - needs replacing to look the part. Passed MoT like this so not a problem apart from cosmetic.
Rear offside bumper has a mark from someone scraping the car when parked up. No dent etc.
Heater can be a bit weak. Not quite sure what problem is (heat exchanger behind dashboard I've been told) - but I have managed perfectly well.
This is a car that is now 16 years old and until the last year was used as a daily driver. Always been serviced and well maintained as I needed to depend on it, but with 163k miles on the clock, it has accumulated some minor scratches and car park dents as you would expect.
Please send any questions. I'd be delighted to show you the car (please bring insurance if you want to drive, otherwise I can demonstrate!)
Thanks for looking!
