We currently have an old 2003 Punto for a second car to use to and from work...

I have a feeling that said Punto is going to be due a massive bill before too long and make in uneconomical to repair and run.

I have been offered a 2003 V40 Sport 1.9D on 82k. Full and decent service history, Cam Belts and bushes recently changed. Clutch hasn't been done and at this milage I would imagine it will need one before too long.

I have been offered it from a bloke in work who has always looked after his vehicles.

I am half tempted to buy it and replace the junk that is the Punto. Anything i need to be looking out for when I give it a look over. Any known issues etc.

Thanks,
