   Hi guys,
   i currently have a mk1 1.1i and am thinking of upgrading to a vtr, now iv found a wicked red mk1 vtr at a local garage, its a good looking car however i did notice when looking around it that there is quite a bit of mould on the rear seat belts and around the steering wheel, iv been told its been stood for a far while outside.
   
   Is this just where its been outside for a while or is damp gettin in somewhere like a leak or something?
   
   Any help will be greatly appreciated
   
   Thanks
   Lewis.

   Its most likely got a small leak, most likely the sunroof. And if its at the dealers chances are its been stood for weeks! So mould would appear.
   Mine had a small sunroof leak few months ago and the cars been stood for 3 months, its got mould on the carpet and very minor on the rear bench

   also check underneath the rear seats as they tend to go rusty there too, along with the rear seat belts and the boot floor
