Mine is just on 3 years old with 89k on it. At 75k it had the rear diff replaced, but other than a bit of a creaky seat with creases on the side bolster everything else has been very good. Ave MPG 35/36. Mix of London/motorway.

some early models had problems with steering racks / pumps / resevoirs (mine did) look out for notchy or heavy steering at low speed, also sometimes you can hear a whiring noise which is caused by a blocked filter in the resevoir.

Cheers all I went to enquire about one with 90K miles on the clock to find out it has one recorded service in the log at about 80K but no warranty work recorded at all either(!)
