Thanks for the reply mate, appreciate it.
Yup, ULEZ compliant, wouldn't be considering it without. I don't know specifics of recent use but certainly doesn't sound like used much/at all in past 6 months, and relatively little for the 18 preceding that.
Reassuring to hear that the price doesn't sound way off.
If anyone does have any mechanic recommendations much appreciated!

Check the 1.4 VWs of that age can run on cheap petrol. Some of them can’t. Not the end of the world but more expensive to fill as you have to use super.

To be clear, with a years MOT, that would be a £500ish car a year or two ago I reckon (if buying off a friend etc). But the market is absolutely bonkers right now, and cheap cars have been hit the hardest.

Finger in the air price says that’s about right money wise (all being well with the car), and considering how mentally priced similar cars are at the moment. I take it that it is ULEZ (2005 for petrol is within the cutoff I think, but deffo checking to be sure). I’d want to test drive it if it’s just been sat for 2 years though. Does “basically just been sat” mean literally not been moved at all, or driven once a month or so. I’d potentially be concerned if it hadn’t moved at all.
Can’t help on the mechanic front unfortunately !
