Default FOR SALE: My 1999 S40 T4, £400. Recently failed MOT

If any of you keen enthusiasts are interested in it before I move it on elsewhere, let me know, but for me it is its time for it to go as I need to shift it in the next few weeks.

It failed on corroded sills. I’ve checked with my local car guy & he says it’s not a problem to weld repair. Also has the rusty wing syndrome both sides at the joint of the bumper, plus one o2 sensor showing now and again, otherwise ok not in bad condition for its 18 years.
I don’t have the space, facility or time to break it for spares so it has to go as is.

The annoying part is I had the belts/water pump changed about 3k miles ago and in May put a new exhaust on, two new rear disks/pads and a caliper (I have the bills). Then they failed it!

I bought in 2007 with 64000ish miles & now has 173636 miles.
It is mechanically sound, has no suspension, steering, transmission, engine problems or oil/water leaks and never misses a beat. Aircon also fully working. Still accelerates as it should 0-60 and will reach high speeds as rapidly. Returning 33-35/gall (depends on time of year!) for the last 80-90000 miles (have never reset MPG clock!) I also put on a removable tow bar that has only ever been used for a bike rack!
If anyone is interested, let me know ASAP.
I have some pics of the car but can't get them to upload
