Looks clean enough. Not sure about the wheels though and, dare I say it - it's a bit pricey ....
Look for a good SH and hopefully the head's been done recently too.

I emailed the dealer and the reply i got was;
"Hi, 4 stamps in the book, the last at 45396 miles was a main service the cam belt was done at this service, its now due a service"
Not sure about the wheels myself, but the missus likes 'em !!!!
It does have a 180 kit though

Car looks like its been cared for by past owners, might be worth looking to see if he will guarantee the engine.
Was speaking to a guy down the road with an 05 1.8 ZS, said his engine went but his was covered and repaired for free.
Price is always a starting point, take a few printoff's from some cheaper ones from Autotrader and depending how good business was last week you might be surprised and get a low offer accepted.

I've just run the reg through a site I use for any cars that take my interest www.autocheck.co.uk there seems to be a mileage discrepancy, it was showing 106,000 in 2006 it could be an error, but worth making sure before any money changes hands

Just bookmarked it could be useful, can you check mileage from old mot's that have been issued.
Don't know where they were stored, DVLA, or VOSA but I'm sure I saw in another ad that they confirmed mileage that way.

Yes, you can check mot history on one of the .gov.uk sites.
The mileage difference may be a legitimate mistake, somebody could have meant to put down 10,600 miles and DVLA entered it wrongly, they are very slack about recording details accurately.
