    1.4 petrol, not sure of the model/trim but I think it's on an N plate

    on the 5 door the rain gulley on the roof (top of the back doors) can rust.
    remove the seal to examine.
    idle faults common on petrol. could be coil pack or stepper motor.
    back brakes never self adjust properly
    Airbag light on all the time (easily fixed)
    exhausts have a habit of breaking on the weld marks even if not rusty
    drivers door wiring loom breaks internally causing central locking faults

    personally i would avoid the 1.4 as it's quite a slug. the 1.6 is better
    overall.
