That uneven tyre wear is perfectly normal, it's precisely because of the geometry that the tyres wear like that.

Other than that there's the usual stone chips and some bird sh!t damage.

Might be worth negotiating the cost of a new exhaust and front tyres off the price though (I assume this is a report on a car you're thinking of buying).

Thought it was a timing chain, not a belt. Any car 'engineer' would know which surely?

Or is the report not for an S?

The corrosion could just be the flaky paint on the rear of the boxes.. not very clear on the report is it...

Tyres - agree, sounds like the geo is fine just done too many motorway miles

Bootlid could cost a bit to get resprayed if it really is kak though.

bootlid seems a bit flat, spoken to inspector who suggests a good buff shoul bring it up OK.

Exhaust is a tricky one, agreed - not huge information re this.

How much is a standard exhaust anyway?

Assume the worst - brake discs and pads, exhaust and some paint - say
