Rust is a significant enemy. Engine wear, especially in examples that haven't been meticulously maintained, is common. Carburetor issues, fuel delivery problems, and electrical gremlins due to aged wiring can also arise. Given the age, seals and gaskets will likely be brittle and prone to leaking. Suspension and steering components may show wear, affecting handling and safety.
WOF tips
Pay close attention to rust in structural areas, as this is a common cause for WOF failures. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly, and that the lenses are intact. Check the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and sidewall integrity, as well as the functionality of tyres. Steering and suspension components should be inspected for excessive play or wear. Brake performance and fluid leaks are also important considerations.
