that engine and gearbox aren't great but it's all been replaced so should do you for a while. i'd say it's probably worth £1000

do you think the mileage is a little high? or is it okay for the age of the car?

also the £220 road tax scared me!! hows it so high on a 1.6!!

Low mileage, but over priced by a few hundred.
