Swift sport, £3k budget
Discussion
Afternoon all. I've previously posted about potentially having to replace the OH's X plate Polo at some point. It appears that time has come, having just got home after being broken down on Dartmoor with an unhappy 3 year old in tow, in said polo.
Its just last month had a new MOT, having spent £250 odd on a few bits, but need something more reliable now.
Previous recommendations for my approx £3k budget have been plentiful and appreciated, but I am almost dead set on a swift sport 1.6 vvti, seems to tick all the boxes.
This would seem to get me somewhere between 2008-2011 ish. Have seen a couple which look decent for nearer £2k, but with 100k on the clock.
I wonder if anyone could tell me of any known issues I should be looking for, or to check if they have been done already? Would 100k put you off if the history looked ok?
As always, very much appreciate any help. Cheers.

Afternoon all. Just wanted to check before posting a link... It's not considered in any way 'bad form' to post a link to a car someone has for sale privately, to ask opinions on it?
Just thinking it risks giving the seller the hump if the comments aren't good! I'm overthinking it I'm sure!

The front tyres had an advisory so put onto the rear to extend their life.....
And shorten the life of the driver!
Other than replacing those sharpish it looks fine to me. Keep in mind the swif sport has an odd tyre size so they're actually quite expensive.

Haha... That did seem an odd one to me, but thought it looked decent besides that. Thanks for the advice 👍
Just a thread update... Thanks for all the tips. 5 hour train journey at silly o'clock tomora morning to pick up an SSS. Spec exactly what I was looking for, did involve a quite significant budget creep.... Man maths won the day. Don't they always??
Will post pics after the 5 hour drive home. Happy Friday!
