Looking into buying one (from a garage) have seen one with 89000km on it, is this very high for its age? - am I more likely to run into problems because of higher mileage or does it have any bearing on a cars performance/reliability? All info appreciated!! Thanks

Presuming it's petrol then it's a fair bit of mileage in 2 years on a car that size. Check its history to see if it is an ex-rental. If it is then I'd tend to avoid, rental cars can and do get dog's abuse.

Someone's nicked the alloys. Lidl wheel trims

Bang of long term ex rental off it. Registered in a batch of 10 identical cars, one owner, taxed for 3 months at one point.

Plus the 1.25 60ps is very slow
