I think you may be ok mate. Sarah doesnt do many miles at all, and vauxhall openly admit that the car is not good for low miles. In fact, in the words of one of the dealers, they are 'shocking'!!.

Trouble was, when I bought it it was between a 1.9CDTi design with half leather, black windows etc, or a year newer 1.6 petrol 'life' with hub caps for the same money. So, of course, the alfa male came out in me and I went for the top spec turbo diesel, thinking it would be the better car. It was only after buying it that I started to read the horror stories and sure enough, the problems began.
