Pretty low mileage, worth a shot?

You need to go and actually have a look, if it is legit mileage and the sills are good and it has been kept well then yes.

It is legit, the mileage adds up.

It was just off the road between 2007 and 2012 and appears to have not been driven much.

No mention of work done to sills though, i'd want to know exactly what was done to get it to pass mot again. Also no mention of suspension refresh, which if not done I'd be looking to do.
