Hi Guys, an colleague is selling a Lexus IS220D 2006 with 90k miles, He bought it 1.5 years ago and says the car has always been good and has never had any problems.
But the MOT failed and that made me worried thinking about, what do you think?

He says there were no leaks in the previous MOT when it failed 1 month before, but as he didn't fix the problems with the MOT tester he added more problems.
As I'm not from the UK this is all new to me so I'm a bit worried about all this, do you think it's worth it?
I drove the car, and apparently everything is ok, no noises or problems, it starts and works right away.
Sorry for the poor English, it's not my first language. Thanks
