Often lurk here dreaming of a Z4 but first time posting!
Currently I have a 2013 Astra and as my partner has gone and bought a nice sensible car I can look at selling the Astra and getting behind the wheel of a Z4. I have seen a car which is a 56reg 2.5i which has all the power I would need really (5 miles to work and back).
Issue is, I'm essentially buying a car that is 6 years older.. with more mileage - Am I crazy? Secondly the car that I have found according the the MOT records state the car was MOT'd a nearly year ago on the same mileage meaning the car has stood for that long, And the previous MOT shows the car has only done 4000 miles since Jan 2015. Also on the MOT a records there are a few fails in the past and these following advisories were shown in 2014.. but I would imagine they are sorted now as they don't show on newer MOT's
- Nearside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Offside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Offside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)

Should I go for it? Is the fact its been locked up inside for a year actually a good thing? Or should I run away?!
Please let me know your thoughts!!
