I think they were the ones with the gearbox problems. :-[ ( roger squeaky seems to know about this)

It seems to be a low mileage so I reckon around the 4k plus the hit  ;)

Steer clear,gearbox trouble in that year and that`s the worst model they did the DTI.If your going to get 1 go for the CDTI ie common rail engine more poke and more reliable,i wouldn`t buy it even if it seemed cheap.

My Trafic gearbox (03 plate) went at 39,000 miles.  It doesn't mean that yours would though.

I've done 36k in 1 year in my 53plate Trafic. It had 29k on it when I bought it, its been fine apart from the new clutch. My 55plate Primastar has 40k total and thats had a clutch aswell.

Personally, I would not buy it.  It may be perfectly OK but I've heard too many gearbox tales for my liking.
