Hi All,

Im new to bongos - so appreciate any advice on this listing as I'm looking for a Bongo

MOT Checkers looks ok - oil leak but not excessive has come up a few times so I'm sure that would need looking at.

Thanks all

No mention as to undersealing or any rust work carried out to date ? Might be worth while viewing any maintenance receipts or repair work receipts ?

Seller has messaged me the below:
No welding as far as I know. We haven’t owned it very long so the MOT was already done. We’ve had a couple of drips on the driveway but that’s all. We’ve driven the NC500 in it and no issues with oil or anything else

Well in that case it needs a careful examination a 21 year old vehicle with no rust, could be the case if its a fresh import but if its been in the UK for a good number of years then it will be unusual!

The nice looking side skirts can hide a lot of corrosion and it’s very difficult to probe around the rear part to detect the rust
