I've got a TDCI 1.8. It's an 03 plate that I bought 16 months ago.
In that 16 months, due to work and football, I've driven just over 45,000 miles.
As long as it's regularly serviced and you don't thrash the fuck out of it, it'll run forever.
Parts and servicing are dead cheap and the MPG's good too, works out at 10p a mile in mine.

cheers for the help guys, ive found a 04plate VW Golf 1.9 TDI but its a bit pricey for what it is, 5,995. Will try and budge him on it, not looking to get much for the pug and not many people will take it p/x if they have to come and get it. |

Nice to drive but I find mine nearly always has something wrong with it! I'd get a Golf instead if I were you.

OK if you have the money for an ST. Those things are far from cheap. |

St170s aren't that expensive. The mk2 ST's probably still are!

I have had a Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec, bog-standard vehicle (except it happens to be automatic), 04 reg, since summer 2007, and had absolutely no problems with it at all. It is practical, comfortable, and even with automatic, reasonable fuel consumption. Not great acceleration, but I have been entirely happy with it.

For an 04 plate Golf, that seems quite reasonable, dependent on condition/mileage. If I had 6k slushing around, I'd seriously consider that, subject to negotiation of course. I've seen T plate Golf TDi's advertised for between 3 and 4k.......ridiculous |
