Mine was in pretty good nick when i got it, nothing TOO unusual.

aside from a brand new clutch cable in the boot......

didnt think anything of it, put it in a cupboard with all my other spare car bits (not thinkging that if it goes, ill be driving at the time)
2 weeks later, clutch cable snaps on motorway and guess what.... I LEFT THE BLOODY CABLE AT HOME!

Really should have taken the whole "new clutch cable in the boot" thing as a hint that it was on its way out i guess.

Also found a "spare" ariel in the boot.
Thats now a much loved cat toy. spend a 10a on a fancy cat toy and itd rather play with a car ariel.

Meh.
