Condition 

6

The car shows moderate wear but is well-presented for its age. Upgrades like the gearbox and exhaust suggest good maintenance, but the need for spare parts implies some mechanical needs. The mileage is reasonable, and it's tax/MOT exempt, but minor cosmetic issues are likely present.
