Makes sense... £4700 doesn't do that car justice

So... when I go view a 6MPS what should I look / listen out for?
Any MPS related problems? VVT chain like a rattling sound if going?
Sorry for my noobishness with regards to the MPS!
I take it rear arch rust can be a problem with these too?

Auction seems to have ran to the end Because it was us lot bidding on it trying to drive the price up for him  As for the problems to look out for, the VVT yeah, you'll certainly hear it from the left side of the engine, when it's going it sounds awful. And check the turbo, leave it on tick over for a good 10 min, if it smells and smokes, walk away.
