As has been said, all the fluids will need doing and overhaul of the callipers probably recommended. Discs would clean up probably, but might need removing and going over with some fine sandpaper or similar depending on condition.

People say check tyres for flat spots etc but that will become apparent during a road test, feeling of imbalance through the steering wheel I suppose.

Other than that, give us a good wash and some fresh fuel...when I come to think about it, the fuel might need draining and refreshing... depends how much was in the tank during storage. Some say fill it, leaving less room for condensation to form, other say leave it almost empty therefore when it comes to put it back on the road, you'll be filling it with Fresh stuff but I'm not so sure. In our climate, I don't think the heat will create too many problems.

Enjoy, keep us posted. Decent price! To think I bought mine 5 years ago with 17K on it for £35.5K, so £31 is sensible, I feel anyway.
