1.4 8v has done just under 78,000 and is going fine other than using a little oil but has done this since I bought it.
Needed a gear box at 60,000, just 2000 after I bought it.
Other than that, it's just been general stuff you expect to wear out. Balljoints, shocks and springs, brake discs and pads, drop links and general service items.
Had the usual GP stuff, heater resistor, earth straps, rear washer tube, Christmas tree rear lights, divers door handle. None of these are expensive to fix and the cars are very easy to work on.
It's only failed to start twice, other due to broken earth strap other due to dying battery.
On account of them needing revved to get them to shift, I'd personally go for one with less miles unless there is a lot of service history. I got mine for £1600 about 3 years ago, 06 plate active sport with 58,000 on it.
Cheers
