Hi,
Hopefully going up to pick up a 1.4 16v sport corsa b on saturday, just after some general things to look out for when buying a corsa? Are there any particular problems that I should be aware of?

It's a 2000 plate, 84000 miles, 12 months mot and tax till Nov, the only problem is that the women doesn't have a log book for it, she has the V5 (Am I right in thinking this is all that's needed for a sale?) and she doesn't have any service history with it but has had bits and pieces done like the cambelt etc she has assured me. She's had it for 3 years and is only the second owner of it.

Just after a second opinion from somebody if it seems dodgy that theres a lack of service history etc? Oh and the last thing, on the advisories there was something about the 'rear brake cable has wires broken but is not significantly weakened' - Is this a serious problem to fix?

Cheers
