Hi guys new here, I pick up a 1.2 merit in blue next week to run around in while my project is off the road I'm trying to find the colour out it's either premier or prestige blue not 100% maybe some of you know this colour I can only get paint code when I've picked it up here's a pic
What are the common problems with these rot wise? I'm only going to spend money on it if it's clean/ rot free I know the body work ain't the best as it is bumps/ dents etc nothing that can't be sorted comes with 5 1/2 months tax 6 months mot which ain't bad for £200 lol

Could be Atlantis
28L or 28U depending on the year.
Standard rot points on the painted bits are the B pillars, front of the rear window, bottom of the tailgate window line and inside the arches where the plastic trim bolts through. Plus standard stuff like leading edge of the bonnet and top of the windscreen.
Also worth checking underneath where the rear panel meets the rear legs and where the front legs leave the bulkhead.
