The mileage is low but I wouldn’t say that was a good price. Even if it’s one of the last TDI FR’s it’ll still be 12 years old and they’re not rare enough to command that sort of price. I’d say 2k at the most and it would need to be like new.
Generally the
Mk1 Leon is a solid car, given the age you’ll need to check the normal wear items. If the general maintenance is kept on top of, they can keep going for years. But if you need to replace things like tyres, brakes, suspension or the timing belt soon after buying it could cost you another £1,000.
Apart from the normal Mk1 problems, the TDI 150 is rather fussy on which oil is used and can suffer camshaft wear. It’s normally not terminal but could still cost a few hundred pounds in garage bills. Also since the plastic and rubber in the car are well passed their best, the TDI FR’s are now commonly blowing boost pipes off the intercoolers. Again not a big
problem but can result in a visit to a garage.
