2015 astra Sri seat belt issue

[Jules2410]

Hi,

I am considering buying a 2015 astra Sri 2.0 cdti and went to test drive it today. Pulled the seat belt out and it was mouldy and felt really damp. 

 

Is this a common issue and what would solve it?? 

I don't want to buy a car with issues if it's letting in water. 

 

Any advice also on the clutch pedal squeeking. 

 

Thanks

Hi Jules....welcome to the Forum

If the seatbelt is in the rear then the boot is leaking, which is a common fault, but if its in the front then I don't know what that is?

Has the car come from somewhere like Helston in Cornwall which floods regularly within the year....check the log book for previous owners

Silicon spray is good for squeaky pedals usually
