1993 2.0 wentworth auto estate.

Car has 140,000 miles on it, ive checked the mot history out and it has passed every mot with only advisories being new number plate and front caliper binding (2018) and brakes hoses & headlights ( 2015 ) i assume headlights been sorted as not mentioned since.
There is one problem and the seller says it has a small hole in the turbo?.and shes been driving it like that for a year!! Now my questions are what could it be? Mot is only untill march which i dont think will be a problem. Should i consider buying? Its sub £500 but its a fair few miles away from me and id need to pay for collection.

This is her reply
I’ve got to be honest, I’m not really sure. The mechanic said it’s only small, and could easily be fixed. I have been driving it like that for a year. I can try and find out more information for you if you like. The MOT doesn’t run out until March.

Thanks ..

The first 940 i was considering has overfuelling problem and decided to give it a miss.
