Welcome mate
Usual things when looking at cars, matching decent tyres, service history with proof of cambelt change by someone who knows what they're doing not a local mechanic. If it is due a cambelt factor in/knock off circa £400

Thanks for that, very useful. I've only got £2500 to spend so looking for a decent car at not a lot of money. What mileage does the cambelt need doing? I'm ideally looking for a relatively unmodified model but with full service history.

72k or 5 years mate.
Worry not, £2500 is plenty for a nice 172 or a cracker of a phase 1 172. 182's in less desirable colours are now falling under the 3k mark of late! Plenty on here, PH and AT.

No worries mate.
As Danny said above 5 years or 72k which ever is first, don't be fobbed off with its only done 50k so it'll be right (if its original belt). They can perish/crack with age. If it fails can be big bills time £££.
If its due take it to one of the specialists on here, there are a few depending on where you are in country.
That's plenty to get you in a decent 172.
Also when you get chance, pay the £12 to become a member. It'll pay for itself in no time, and will give you access to all the Traders sections on here

Clio 182
Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll definitely join as a member once I buy the right car.
I managed to pick up a Titanium Silver 182 at the end of Feb for £2.4k so they're about. Is Titanium an undesirable colour?? :rasp:
He wanted £3k and granted it had done under 50k but it had never had a belt change.
Lots of traders on here who can give you a good price on a belt change too so I got Fred at BTM to do mine a week later.
These little Clios quickly become companions though and I've easily dropped an additional £1.5k on it since owning it. It gets addictive!
