This level of spec, the rebel blue colour and D3 engine make it very rare in Ireland. The mileage is a bit high.

Anything in particular I should look for in this version?

That's about 108,000 miles and if I remember correctly the cambelt on the 5 cylinder diesels should be changed at 10 years/108,000 miles. I would check whether there is evidence that the cambelt and auxillary belt have been changed, if not then you need to factor this in if you are considering buying the car.

Nice looking car, rare in the UK as well.

I thought the T5's were 2 litre?

Early T5's where the 2.5 litre 5 cylinder, later ones 2.0 4 cylinder. Both versions are absolute weapons.

Take one for a test drive, you will love it. I will not get rid of mine.
