Yes, definitely tyres as past their shelf life date. Wonder what else would need doing if sat for so long, especially if outside in all weathers.

Oil... Coolant... Brake Fluid (Brakes might even be seized... what about hand brake?)... Air-con re-gas (will have certainly lost all the gas, maybe more damage and need more work)... Aux belts...

Should I go on?

Basically it needs a Damn Good service

I would expect for that price and being it's a dealership selling the car that all these things would get checked in the workshop before its collected ie service carried out 12 mths mot, tyres replaced, aircon re-charged & 12 mths tax.

The discs will be shot as will the flexy pipes and fluid. I expect the boot will be pretty much full of water too!
