Condensation in headlights

Recommended Posts

I've started looking in anger for a 350 and viewed four in Peterborough today. I dismissed the first as there was a number of scratches, the wheels were badly Kerbed, the roof fabric didn't look great and one headlamp had condensation in it. The following three had similar issues with one or both headlamps.

 

Is this normal? Is it an MOT failure and how much is a new headlamp unit?

 

Is it reasonable to expect to get an immaculate car that's 7-8 years old or is it likely that I'm being too picky!? Budget is £8k for a pre 06 roadster and ideally I'd like it from a dealer for some warranty peace of mind. Are AA/RAC inspections and after market warranties on private sales a reasonable alternative?

 

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about others but my 55 reg zed gets slight condensation on the near side headlamp sometimes depending on weather conditions. It's very slight and goes away as soon as the environment heats up.

I've not had an mot failure front it either.
