the usual thing's make sure the pannel gap's are right chech for rust inside the tailgate where you lift it up check chassis no's match vin and v5 if it's genuine 26k dont be put off by lack off service history it's 18 years old that's 1444 miles a year but there should be some history check for sign's of paint if it's had some make sure it matches check old mot's to verify milage it's a case off buyer beware take your time looking over the cossie and good luck mate
