Use it regularly up until then to throw up any problems it may or may not have. If it's running reliably there's no reason why you can't go anywhere in it.

ok cheers i will try and run it as much as i can cheers

go for it, take a cushion with you as i've found them quite uncomfy on long runs.

Ryan.
Have some faith in the old girl, and if in doubt pray or take out RAC membership.
Course it will get you there, but maybe not back!

Got plenty of room in the boot for spares and a socket set anyway.
All the best Dave

September before last my Mrs and me drove our Panda to Lindisfarne and back for a weeks holiday with no second thought... There's no problem on long runs just check fluids and tyre pressures before you go and enjoy it... I think we covered 1,500 miles in 8 days with no problems. Have fun!!

@ CLXCraig: you need so sort your seat position out!

All the best, Luke.
