check cambelt mate,should be done every 72k/5 years and exhausts drop to pieces so check that and also engine mounts fail

Whats the price range for a start.Theres some good ones around with lower miles than that

The cambelt is loooong overdue if it hasn't already been done. I'd imagine it will have and, if so, it's worth checking if it was done a while ago. Most are done around 45-50k which would mean it's ideally due for another one to be on the safe side.

With slightly higher miles, I'd expect a comprehensive service history. If it's all in place then the miles shouldn't be a concern, but will be a good bargaining point, when you pick out interior condition, steering wheel, bolster wear, etc.

worth a look mate,mines was cheaper than that with fsh,so there are decent cheaper cars out there

The description seems pretty decent, though I'd imagine 'service history' means that it's not complete.

You want to make sure nothing big is going to go wrong in the short term, as £1-2k can easily be eaten up by a poorly looked after car. There's no way to guarantee this doesn't happen but FSH is a good way to start.

HPI CLEAR WITH REPORT, SUPPLIED WITH 12 MONTHS MOT,

Seams ok but i'd be dubious,Make sure the history file has all relevent stamps and all major services have been carried out
