Brake discs are a good indicator. If there's rust on them after a few weeks than the climate isn't good for the rest of the car.

I had a car stored for 10 years and the discs were like new.

Cant say Ive seen it before.

But if you write to DVLA and send a Ł5 cheque ( maybe double check the price ) they will give you all the names and addresses of the old owners, i have done this before with cars for showing porposes to build up a history, you need to explain why you want the details as they like a good reason!

hope this helps.
