As long as its got full service history it'll be fine. 1.8T is a bomb proof engine but beware of bodged mods and remaps. Not saying remaps are bad just stay away if the mileage is high as the turbo is likely to be tired.

I bought a 1.8 T Cab last week, not driven it loads but I'm very impressed up to now. Super smooth and a little bit of poke there if you need it.

Already prefer it to my 330D

I've had a 1999 1.8 T sport (Avant) for the past 5 years and 70,000 miles , hasn't missed a beat yet , nice and smooth and quiet and well put together . Averages about 33mpg and parts aren't that expensive it your try somewhere like www.eurocarparts.co.uk.
