I've just bought one a few weeks ago, mine has 66k on the clock and I paid 8k, full service history and just had the belt done, I would say go for it but see if you can get 500ish knocked off, definitely recommend getting one and with 13k miles on the clock you know it hasn't been hammered!! defo recommend  :smiley: :smiley:
