Overall reliability

201000mls approx. to date, very economical,very reliable, plenty of power when needed,bodywork excellent and comfortable to sit in and drive

I paid £1100 for the car with 168400mls from a dealer. it had been driven for a long while by a taxi-driver.
The bodywork was clean and sound with virtually no rust anywhere. Over the last nos. of years it has gone through MOT first time on 4 occasions and needed a retest twice. In that time I have repaired the clutch, had front brakes replaced and the rear passenger door lock refitted.

In consumption terms it regularly gets 50>mpg on long runs and 40mpg around home. It has bags of acceleration if required and really is a comfortable drive.
