Hi all 

this is not for me but for a nice looking mk6 fiesta my sister is looking to buy £350 first car, the only problem is the boot does not shut fully, not got alot of information off the guy as only just messaged him about it. hes supplied pictures that's all i got. does anyone have any ideas or have experiences with type of thing.

i know with the information given an definitive answer cant be given so thank you for any advice you've got.

    The boot is buckled at the bottom and the bumper looks like it has dropped so I'd say it's been rear ended at some point.

    yes i noticed that  too iv have asked him whats up with the boot but if its been rear ended then there could be more hidden damage 

    if it did have a bump at the back as to why is not aligned would this fail an MOT

    no it would not fail the mot if there is a dent or bumper is out of line. i suspect it would fail the mot if the boot does not secure down

    Also worth checking if the chassis is intact, if you can.  Can be a lot of hidden damage from a crash.
