Mk4, so an Astra G?

No real issues witht hem, fully galved so body not an issue (unless its been repaired).

Front brake pipes need greasing as they rot where they pass by the front subframe.

Early ones could have PAS issues, fixed around 2001.

Engines are pretty good if serviced (like any!)

Pretty well screwed together, quite sure footed (and easy to improve)
