New Owner Advice Please

[jmcleavy]

Just bought my second MG ZS 180, had last one around 4 years ago.

Not a whizz on cars so would be grateful if anyone could answer the following:

1. Car has 44,000 on the lock, no history of timing belt or gasket replacement, i will do approx 10,000 miles a year in car, should i be looking out for anything?

2. Clutch bites at very top, works fine but is this common?

3. Car has been stood for a while before i bought it, brakes work fine but slight grinding noise when braking, discs look rusty, will this clear up?

4. All electrics work fine, slight noise coming from wipers, not sure if its the blades as they look a bit old or the wiper motor, any history on the wiper motors?

Any help/advice appreciated
