I'd say condition is the one to look out for. Look for one that's had the belts done and fully stamped up service book. Mileage isn't too much of an issue as long as it's been looked after. There's some people on here with 130000 miles plus and still going strong.
I use my 182 as a family car. I've got a 4 year old in a high back booster and a 22 month old in a forward facing. Bags if room. Dont listen to people (usually family) who say you need a 5 door. I find it easier with the 3 doors as I can actually get in the back and get the kids sorted.
Fair play to the guy he's put a lot of hard work into it but for what. In a few months it'll start rusting and getting gunked up unless he keeps on top of it.
