Mk 1 Fabia 1.9 SDi

Hi all. I know this is most probably the most boring "What Car" in history... But I am now doing 15+k miles a year, so just want a cheap, reliable road muncher to supplement the Volvo and the bike.

Seems a lot of these are being sold with mega-miles, so reliability must be decent! But I am looking at a couple this weekend, was wondering what common niggles I should look out for with these?

P.S: Seem I have a choice between a 2000 model that is on 90k miles up for 1k, and a 54 plate with 125k miles (but new clutch and flywheel) up for 1300ish pretty local to me.

Cheers
James
