Hold out for a 1.2

i'd go for the 1.2 given the choice. They are better spec'd, newer, more reliable, and get slightly more power with lower fuel consumption.

Lowering the fuel consumption on a 1,4 means basically ensuring its completely serviced, and that the camshaft isn't worn due to the usual blocked oil spray bar. since a 1.4 will be at least 10 years old now, you can be sure that at least one of the owners, probably in the last few years, has had a 'relaxed' attitude to servicing it. not good

I know you can pick up a 1.4S for £500 but a few hundred quid more will pick up a 1.2SX instead
