The good thing about the pandas is the stupidly cheap parts, and usually easy to fit so if you did need a garage to do something it's not usually an arm and a leg. Cam & fanbelt fitted on my old 100hp was 70 quid!

Well I've seen the Suzuki Swift Sport Mk1 have comments on here saying that it wasn't a very good motorway car, Lets hope for the previous driver of this one that the Mk2's better.

Not "high mileage" as such, but not bad going for a warm hatch in 3 years

Ive got a swift sport and have done 8,000 miles in it since September. Everything I loved about it is making me hate it, its a stupid car to do high miles in (but I just had to try one after the reviews!), it's so loud inside at anything above 50, horrendous at motorway speeds. The newer ones have a 6spd box which would help but hopefully they've sorted the road and wind noise out a bit too.

It does feel like it'll go on forever though!

Wonderful. Although it's a shame I can't see how the interior has dealt with those miles.
12k would be more palatable of course.

Now that's doing it right! Can't be many on that kind of mileage...

Not huge mileage by any means but a lot for for one these! Decent value at that price?

Was posted up a few pages back. Looks like they've had the sense to not post the pictures of the interior with bits of veneer missing this time, still seems proud the grill is missing slats though.

And reads like a trader ad... for a private seller?

I'm pretty sure that last time it was linked to an Ebay advert - also there was some rust IIRC...

I bought a 60 plate Citroen Nemo last year with 230,000 miles. That's almost 50,000 a year! The previous owner had driven it from Darlington to Carlisle almost every day of it's life. It was actually sound as a pound, but incredibly slow and boring.
