Bought this as a winter daily, £500 with 12 months ticket, recent service no major rust, bit at the bottom of the rear n/s door, parking related scrapes but generally pretty clean, drives nicely no unpleasant surprises.

Rear washer jets don't work and the MPG is stuck but other than pretty happy.

pics ripped from the ad but will add some more later.

F**king bargain for £500 with a 12 months ticket.. Any plans? or just running it through the winter?

Result there fella, nice colour.
A lux? with spotlights check the options list as that would have been an extra, or one of the last out, or have they been fitted afterwards.

the rear wash pipe is probably snapped in half and dumping water in the headliner or somewhere else if there is water in the bottle and the pump on the bottle works ?

or you need to pin the jets
