my train of thinking too, if she does alot of short journeys chances are it a build up of condensation as its not generating enough heat for the water to evaporate

Surely just not been cleaned?
Needs a good run and an oil change.
Only way to then assess what the score is really.
Will they have cleaned breathers etc?
Need to start from a clean sheet.
