I cannot answer your questions because the car has done so few miles (just under 20,000) and the only thing that has been renewed are the 2 broken front coil springs found on 2 seperate MOTs. If you buy a TDI PD engined car be aware the CAMBELT needs replacing every 4 years or 40,000 mile whichever soonest, you should check when it was last done Having said that my Polo is due a new cambelt later this year if it hadn't been in such good condition I may have risked not having it done.

Before anyone questions why a diesel when doing so few miles, it was bought because we use to go to my sisters regulary (Sheffield to Scarborough) and at the time my wife suffered fron arthritis, whithin a year she could not get in the car, I kept the car and now it is worth far more to me now than what I could sell it for.
