Description
Estate version of Top Gear's famous "Reasonably Priced Car." This is a cheap, ultra-practical workhorse that starts first time, every time, and runs beautifully. It offers massive cargo space on a budget and comes with a FULL TANK OF PETROL included at the time of writing!
Road Tax: 360 pounds per year
MAINTENANCE & MECHANICAL:
- Cambelt & Water Pump: Replaced November 2025 at 96,982 miles.
- Last Serviced: April 2026 by the previous owner. New brake pads and discs fitted.
- Tyres: Two rear tyres are nearly new (fitted January 2026). The two front tyres and the spare in the boot are close to the legal limit.
- Engine: 1.6-litre petrol (16v E-Tec II) with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
MASSIVE PRACTICALITY & SX FEATURES:
- Enormous Boot: Features hidden under-boot storage, side panel storage, and tie-down points. Especially large with the rear seats folded completely down.
- Audio Setup: DAB, FM, AM, Bluetooth connectivity, and a CD player.
- Driver Convenience: Fully working rear parking sensors and power-adjustable wing mirrors.
- Cabin Comforts: 2x centre console drinks holders, front armrest with storage, spacious glove box, and a digital clock.
- Exterior: Roof rails and aftermarket tinted rear windows (excludes the main boot glass).
- 2 Keys.
The "Honest Bits" (Reflected in the Price)
- Central Locking: Not working. Requires manual locking and unlocking of each individual door.
- Air Conditioning: Requires a recharge/re-gas as it currently blows warm air.
- Dashboard Warning: The airbag light is on. No other warning lights are present.
- Drivers Door Panel: The plastic trim where the electric windows are housed is loose. All electric windows work perfectly; the panel just needs a simple screw and washer to secure it, or can be left as it is.
- Boot Door Catch: Works and locks securely, but you have to manually flick the catch back into position each time you open it.
- Cosmetic Condition: Bodywork has various age-related scuffs. The interior is well-used but fully functional, and I am including a set of new seat covers to freshen it up.
Basic, highly reliable, and incredibly practical transport that is ready to drive away.
If you can overlook a few minor cosmetic and electrical quirks, you are getting a mechanically sound estate car with a fresh cambelt, a full tank of fuel, and nearly a year's worth of MOT for under a grand.
