What's good
Nearly a full year of MOT already sorted.
Preferable 5-speed manual (more reliable long-term than the Powershift autos of this era).

Straightforward, no-nonsense car that is cheap to run and easy to maintain.
Honest notes
High-mileage example with a stereo that requires replacement and cosmetic bumper damage, plus the recent anti-roll bar work. Last serviced privately in January 2025. Sold as a transparent, usable car rather than a pristine example. Perfect for someone who wants cheap, practical transport and is happy to fit a new stereo and live with the bumper marks.
