Very reliable car, I've owned this for 8 years and never had a problem. It has been serviced by a local garage every year and any little jobs have also been done like brake pads, brake discs, cam belt etc etc. The body is good overall condition, there are a few nicks on the back corners from car park contacts and a little work needs doing to the bottom of the drivers door but all easily fixed and what you would expect with a car this age. It's not been in any bumps/crashes to the best of my knowledge, certainly not while I've had it. The air conditioning is superb, just what you need in this weather, better than the aircon in our newer family car. Tyres are pretty recent so plenty of tread on those.
