There will be rusty brake pipes - front, rear and connecting (all hidden away under plastic covers) unless your friend has had them replaced .

No. MOT testers only report on what they can see, they do not remove parts at all.

But if the rest of the car looks sound, don't neccesarily let that put you off. The aren't a fortune to replace. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks all, I also need to weigh up the options between buying this with 77k and no gearbox work having been done or buying a higher mileage one which has had the gearbox replaced.

Diesels hate short trips, they are designed to be running all day long (hot) e.g. fairground generators.
