There's no major inherent weaknesses.... but usual checks apply....

- If auto make sure you take a long test drive and changes are smooth hot and cold.

- Check it has full history - if it's the Ford/PSA 1.6 D2 I think that was every 12.5k not 18k as with the Volvo 2.0 VEA D2 120 BHP engines.

- Check ALL electrics. They're not unreliable but can be expensive to fix...

- Check wheels for damage and tyres for even wear
