Description
Just purchased on 01/05/2026 as a spare / backup vehicle mainly for local school runs and short trips (around 6 miles per day). I am not in a rush to sell the car.
The car is in relatively good condition for its age and mileage and is being gradually improved to suit my personal style and use. I will include both the positive and negative points honestly in the advert.
Recent / ongoing improvements:
* New tyres
* Rear window tint booking
* New wipers
* 12V socket replacement
* General cleaning and refresh
* A/C recently recharged and working
* Heating working
* Radio working
Good points:
* Spacious and practical hatchback
* Reliable 1.6 petrol engine
* Cheap to maintain
* Smooth gearbox
* Good visibility and comfortable driving position
* MOT until April 2027
* Ideal cheap daily / school run / first car
Points to improve:
* Some cosmetic age-related marks
* Rear body imperfections
* Headlights could benefit from restoration
* General wear consistent with a 2004 vehicle
I purchased the Auto Trader Ultimate package because I am happy to keep the advert live while I continue improving the car.
If somebody genuinely likes the car and is happy to pay the asking price, I may let it go and move onto another project. Otherwise I am equally happy to keep and use it for the next 1-2 years or longer.
Viewings welcome.
