Vehicle Inspections

I'm looking for a Terrano and have been doing as much research as I can prior to going out and looking at any. The problem now is that I've now scared myself silly by reading all the "rust" threads!

Does anyone have any experience of any of the vehicle inspection services offered by RAC/AA and others. Are they thorough enough to find the potentially bad bits on these trucks?

Alternatively, are there any members that might take a look at a truck with me in return for breakfast and a few beer tokens?

The current favourite on my list is a 1999 LWB with very low mileage in Chesterfield with some slight bubbling to the front wings - could this be a pointer to other, more serious problems? Cosmetic rust doesn't bother me I just don't want to end up with a complete basket case!

Cheers,

Ian
